In the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles County, a lawsuit was filed on November 13, 2023, by Anthony Bouyer against DIAR Inc., AVG Partners and Does 1-10 (Case No. 2023CUCRO16674). The plaintiff alleges violations of the Unruh Civil Rights Act and seeks damages and injunctive relief.
The plaintiff's attorney is Joseph R. Manning Jr., Esq. from Manning Law, APC. The plaintiff, an adult California resident with substantial physical limitations requiring the use of leg braces, a walker or wheelchair for mobility, alleges that the defendants' property located at 2671 E Thousand Oaks Blvd, Thousand Oaks, CA was not accessible to him on March 23, 2023.
Bouyer alleges that AVG Partners and Does 1-3 owned the property on which DIAR Inc.'s business is located and that DIAR Inc. and Does 4-6 owned, operated and controlled the business at the time of his visit. The lawsuit also claims that the defendants' business establishment is a place of public accommodation.
The plaintiff seeks damages for his alleged suffering due to lack of accessibility in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and seeks injunctive relief to ensure future compliance with ADA standards by the defendants.
