California Court of Appeal

In a case involving investigative consumer reports and background checks made on employees of defendants, alleging violations of the Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act (ICRAA), Civ. Code section 1786 et seq. and the Consumer Credit Reporting Agencies Act (CCRAA), section 1785.1 et seq., the grant of summary judgment is reversed where: 1) the court disagrees with the analysis in Ortiz v. Lyon Management Group, Inc. (2007) 157 Cal.App.4th 604; and 2) there is nothing in either the ICRAA or the CCRAA that precludes application of both acts to information that relates to both character and creditworthiness, thus the ICRAA is not unconstitutionally vague as applied to such information.
