Louie v. BFS Retail & Commercial Operations, LLC, No. C059800

In plaintiff's suit against defendants for violations of California's Disabled Persons Act (DPA), alleging the countertops in defendant's business establishments were allegedly too high to allow wheelchair access, dismissal pursuant to defendant's demurrer is reversed where, because a Florida federal case was resolved by a consent decree expressly reserving any damage claims, res judicata does not bar this claim for damages.
