This website contains information regarding a settlement in a class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of California for the County of Los Angeles entitled Christy Luckey, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. Canyon Beachwear LLC, and Does 1 through 10, Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. BC518338.
WHAT THE CONSUMER ACTION IS ABOUT
Plaintiff alleges in the Action a claim for violation of the Song-Beverly Credit Card Act, California Civil Code § 1747.08, and related common law torts. Plaintiff brought the Action in her individual capacity and in her capacity as a representative of a class of similarly situated persons. Plaintiff seeks to represent a class of all similarly situated persons consisting of all individuals who, since August 13, 2011, purchased merchandise with a credit card at any Canyon Beachwear retail store in California and who were asked to provide personal identification information, including their address, email address, telephone number and/or zip code for recording by a Canyon Beachwear employee in conjunction with the credit card transaction and who did provide such information, and that this practice violated California law.
Defendant denies any wrongdoing and any liability whatsoever.
The Parties have each looked at the uncertainties of trial and the benefits to be obtained under the proposed settlement and have considered the costs, risks, and delays associated with the continued prosecution of this complicated and time consuming litigation and the likely appeals of any rulings in favor of either Plaintiff or Defendant. Based on the foregoing, the Parties desire to settle this matter and resolve their claims without additional litigation.
