A family-owned restaurant in the East Bay has closed due to a lawsuit related to its 'Ladies Night' promotion. The lawsuit, which cites the 1959 Unruh Civil Rights Act, claims that such promotions violate anti-discrimination statutes. This type of litigation has become increasingly common, with legal experts noting that 'Ladies Night' events often face legal challenges. Gloria Allred, a prominent attorney, has previously litigated similar cases. The rise of mass tort litigation has created a booming industry, with substantial financial stakes for plaintiffs, lawyers, and investors.
