Ballard Spahr attorneys Chris Willis, Scott Pearson, and Taylor Steinbacher discuss recent noteworthy developments in California law. Chris, who chairs Ballard’s Consumer Financial Services Litigation Group, and Scott, a partner in the Consumer Financial Services group, discuss the recently decided California Supreme Court De La Torre case, which makes licensed lenders vulnerable to claims that high-interest rate loans over $2,500 may be unconscionable. Chris and Taylor, an associate in the Consumer Financial Services group, discuss the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, a statute giving substantial new privacy rights to California consumers. Finally, Scott and Chris discuss reactions to, and the effects of, the 2017 California Supreme Court McGill case. That case limits the ability to enforce arbitration clauses in cases requesting public injunctive relief.
