Scott v. Branagh

This case is the final result of a bitter-end laundry war in Kern County. The two groups of opponents, each of which was connected with a large organization engaging in similar work in Southern California, used means reminiscent of the law of the jungle to build up their own business standing and to ruin their competitors. During the struggle, each of the two appealed to the courts in an attempt to enlist the law on its own side. Each accused the other of improper practices under the provisions of the Unfair Practices Act (Bus. & Prof. Code, §§ 17000 to 17101), and asked for an injunction and damages.
