Court of Appeal denies rehearing and modifies UCL public prosecutor opinion: Blue Cross v. Superior Court

By Kimberly A. Kralowec

On January 12, 2009, the Court of Appeal (Second Appellate District, Division One) issued an order modifying its opinion and denying rehearing in a UCL public prosecutor case, Blue Cross of California, Inc. v. Superior Court, ___ Cal.App.4th ___ (Dec. 15, 2009).  My post on the original opinion is available at this link. 

The modification order adds several paragraphs clarifying that the Department of Managed Health Care does not have exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the Knox-Keene Act, and that the City of Los Angeles may bring UCL claims predicated on violation of that Act.
