LOS ANGELES (Legal Newsline) – A consumer alleges a Los Angeles restaurant sells items that are advertised as being less expensive than what it actually charges consumers.
Bryant Storey filed a complaint individually and on behalf of all other members of the general public similarly situated on Oct. 5 in the Superior Court of California County of Los Angeles against La Boucherie on 71 and Does 1-100 alleging violation of the Unfair Competition Law
According to the complaint, the plaintiff dined at the defendants' restaurant in September 2017 and was charged more for the food he ordered than what the price was listed on the menu.
The plaintiffs hold La Boucherie on 71 and Does 1-100 responsible because the defendants allegedly misrepresented and falsely advertised to plaintiff and other similarly situated that its items were the price represented on the menu and then without drawing attention to their action prices attempted to sneak them into the bill at a higher price," the suit states.
The plaintiffs request a trial by jury and seek judgment against defendant; certify the suit as a class action; appoint class representative; actual, punitive and statutory damages; attorney's fees; costs; interest; and other relief to which plaintiffs may be justly entitled. He is represented by Todd M. Friedman and Adrian R. Bacon of Law Offices of Todd M. Friedman in Woodland Hills, California.
The defendant removed the case to the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on Feb. 16.
