"Court rules Mother's Day giveaways are legal"

"Court rules Mother's Day giveaways are legal": Today in The San Francisco Chronicle, Bob Egelko has an article that begins, "'Ladies' night' discounts at the local pub are out. But a Mother's Day giveaway of tote bags to female baseball fans is OK, even under California's tough anti-discrimination law. That's because the Mother's Day giveaway is not based on sex stereotypes and doesn't cut ticket prices, said a state appeals court in Santa Ana, which published as a statewide precedent last week its November ruling."

And Monday's edition of The Orange County Register contained an article headlined "Court: Angels not anti-man for giving totes to women only; Appellate court finds men were not discriminated against in Mother's Day promotion at Angel Stadium." Back on February 2, 2007, The OCRegister covered the trial court's ruling in an article headlined "Suit plaintiff strikes out against Angels; Judge dismisses bias claim contending men were discriminated against in promotion for tote on Mother's Day at Angel Stadium."

You can access the recently published ruling of the California Court of Appeal for the Fourth Appellate District, Division Three, at this link.
