Discrimination Under the Unruh Civil Rights Act
The Unruh Civil Rights Act creates a cause of action for a business tort when a business establishment intentionally uses discriminatory business practices against a person who is deemed a protected person under the Act.
Specifically, the Unruh Act prohibits any business establishment from intentionally discriminating against any patron or class of patrons based on that person’s gender, race, color, religion, creed, national origin, or disability. However, the Act is liberally construed to encompass other categories or characteristics of persons not listed. The business establishment must have engaged in business practices that arbitrarily discriminate among its patrons. If you believe you may have been arbitrarily and intentionally discriminated against by a business, please consult the professionals at Gaston & Gaston APLC by calling 619-398-1882 for a complete analysis of your case.
