In addition, he argued, it takes resources and money to make the service available, whether or not it is used, and charging a monthly fee for that investment of resources does not violate Prop. 218.</p> <p>Imperial County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey B. Jones granted Dallarda&rsquo;s motion for summary judgment, which prevented an expensive trial from moving forward.</p>Client Successes02 Mar 2012 00:00:00 -0800http://bbklaw.wiseadmin.biz/?t=40&an=10955&format=xml
