Projecting economic interests 398
Premises Liability is another area of San Diego Personal Injury Law.
Drum v San Fernando Valley Bar Assn., 182 Cal.App.4th 247(2010) (2/5) D sued for B&PC § 17200 when S refused to sell its mailing list to him. D, a disbarred attorney offering cut-rate mediation services, claimed S was projecting economic interests of its members, ones who provided high-priced mediation. Demurrer properly sustained. S is an independent economic unit providing services to its members. No allegation S imposed price controls, that members adhered to price standards, or that D was disadvantaged by any controls. Further, D did not allege S monopolized the market or conspired to do so. Finally, D did not allege refusing to sell a mailing list harmed competition. “Absent a legal provision to the contrary, a private party may chose to do or not do business with whomever it pleases.” San Diego personal injury attorney.
