California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 4 — Obligations Arising from Particular Transactions, Title 1.81.5 — California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, Section 1798.190
Anti-Avoidance
A court or the agency shall disregard the intermediate steps or transactions for purposes of effectuating the purposes of this title:
(a) If a series of steps or transactions were component parts of a single transaction intended from the beginning to be taken with the intention of avoiding the reach of this title, including the disclosure of information by a business to a third party in order to avoid the definition of sell or share.
(b) If steps or transactions were taken to purposely avoid the definition of sell or share by eliminating any monetary or other valuable consideration, including by entering into contracts that do not include an exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, but where a party is obtaining something of value or use.
Notes
Requires a court or agency to disregard intermediate steps or transactions that were components of a transaction intended from the outset to evade the title, including disclosures to third parties to avoid sell or share definitions. Also requires disregard of steps taken to evade those definitions by removing monetary consideration while a party still obtains something of value or use.
