<blockquote><p>&#8220;Assuming plaintiff succeeds on the merits, Bear Valley Ski Resort would be liable for mandatory statutory penalties of $4,000 X 995 putative class members,&#8221; [Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Anthony] Mohr wrote. &#8220;The product of $3,980,000 constitutes a draconian sum that would strip Bear Valley of its assets.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What happened to Sacramento businesses when they offered &#8220;Furlough Friday&#8221; discounts to state workers whose pay had been cut? They found themselves the target of demand letters from an unnamed entrepreneurial San Diego lawyer who alleged that the discounts violated the state&#8217;s famously broad Unruh Act ban on discrimination, and demanded cash settlements. Lawmakers took the step of seeking and obtaining the support of the powerful state trial-lawyers&#8217; group, Consumer Attorneys of California, for remedial legislation, which is &#8220;something you don&#8217;t see every day: trial lawyers backing a bill that would eliminate some lawsuits.&#8221;  [<a href="http://www.sacbee.com/topstories/story/2011602.html">Sacramento Bee</a>]</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: According to <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/07/lawyer-targets-discounts-for-furloughed-state-workers.html">Patrick McGreevy of the L.A. Times</a> (h/t &#8220;Patw&#8221; in comments), the attorney is Alfred Rava of &#8220;Mother&#8217;s Day stadium suit&#8221; fame (<a href="http://overlawyered.com/2009/06/rick-reilly-on-the-oakland-mothers-day-stadium-suit/">Jun. 12</a>, <a href="http://overlawyered.com/2009/06/the-exploits-of-alfred-rava-contd/">Jun. 17</a>, etc.) </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although lawsuits against &#8220;Ladies&#8217; Nights&#8221; discounts have prevailed in California and Colorado, a New York judge has thrown out Roy Den Hollander&#8217;s much-publicized suit seeking class action status on behalf of men not offered discounts at China Club and other Manhattan nightclubs. (<a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/29/ap/strange/main4488041.shtml">AP/CBS News, Sept. 29</a>; earlier <a href="http://overlawyered.com/2007/07/losers-night/">here</a>, <a href="http://overlawyered.com/2007/07/ladies-nights-lawsuits-contd/">here</a>, <a href="http://overlawyered.com/2007/12/roy-den-hollander-vs-ladies-nights/">here</a>, and other posts at <a href="http://overlawyered.com/tag/ladies-nights/">our tag</a>). <strong>More</strong>: Hollander was advancing the relatively unusual argument that the discounts were unconstitutional, which failed when the judge declined to find that they constituted state action; earlier lawsuits against the discounts have generally been based on anti-discrimination statutes, and the case might have come out very differently had those theories been relied on. </p>
