Price Gouging
Does anyone have experience with price gouging and civil enforcement by a DA/CA office? We are having some reports come in locally in relation to the hurricane. Mainly on bottled water prices. More particularly is there a per se standard as to what is an unreasonable increase in price. 2x the price, 3x the normal price? The Deceptive Business Practices outlined in the Penal Code seem less broad than the Deceptive Trade Practices Act.
