UCL/FAAAA preemption opinion filing Monday

July 25, 2014

On Monday morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinion in People ex rel. Harris v. Pac Anchor Transportation, Inc.  The case, which was argued on the late-May calendar, raises the issue whether an action under the Unfair Competition Law (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 17200 et seq.), that is based on a trucking company’s alleged violation of state labor and insurance laws, is “related to the price, route, or service” of the company and, therefore, preempted by the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994 (49 U.S.C. § 14501).

The opinion can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
