California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 3 — Professions and Vocations GenerallyChapter 5.5 — Legal Document Assistants and Unlawful Detainer AssistantsArticle 3 — Conduct of Business and Prohibited ActsSection 6412.1
(a) Any person injured by the unlawful act of a legal document assistant or unlawful detainer assistant shall retain all rights and remedies cognizable under law. The penalties, relief, and remedies provided in this chapter are not exclusive, and do not affect any other penalties, relief, and remedies provided by law.
(b) Any person injured by a violation of this chapter by a legal document assistant or unlawful detainer assistant may file a complaint and seek redress in any superior court for injunctive relief, restitution, and damages. Attorney’s fees shall be awarded to the prevailing plaintiff. A claim under this chapter may be maintained in small claims court, if the claim and relief sought are within the small claims court’s jurisdiction.
Notes
Establishes that chapter penalties and remedies are cumulative and do not displace other legal rights or remedies for persons injured by unlawful assistant conduct. Allows an injured person to seek injunction, restitution, and damages in superior court, requires attorney’s fees for the prevailing plaintiff, and permits small-claims actions when the claim and relief fall within that court’s jurisdiction.
