California Supreme Court
Brennon B. v. Super. Ct.
August 4, 2022
Summary
The California Supreme Court held that a public school district providing free public education is not a "business establishment" subject to the Unruh Civil Rights Act. It further held that the Act's incorporation of ADA violations applies only when the defendant is otherwise a covered business establishment, not to every entity that may violate the ADA. The court affirmed denial of the writ petition and declined to decide whether the complaint could be amended or whether Unruh remedies were independently incorporated into the Education Code.
