Demeter v. Taxi Computer Services
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed a putative class action against TAXI and its CEO, alleging that TAXI operated a talent listing service without procuring the bond California's Fee-Related Talent Services Law (FTSL) requires. The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's grant of summary judgment for defendants, holding that plaintiff's FTSL claim amounted to no more than an assertion that he was injured by TAXI's noncompliance with the FTSL. However, mere noncompliance was not an injury caused "by a violation" of the FTSL. The court also held that plaintiff's evidence also failed to raise a triable issue of material fact as to whether he suffered an economic injury caused by TAXI's alleged violations of the FTSL, which he must have to establish standing to sue under California's Unfair Competition Law.
