ELR Citation: ELR 20034
No(s). B184680 (Cal. App. 2d Dist. Feb 8, 2006)

A court upholds the dismissal of an individual's claims against a state agency and corporations for failing to provide convenient, economical, and efficient beverage container redemption opportunities as required by the California Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act. The lower court correctly ruled that no mandatory duty was created for defendants by the relevant law, and equitable abstention principles barred her unfair competition claims.
