When she inquired, she was the victim of racial discrimination and then battery when the front door of the establishment was closed in hr face an on her foot. California law says that she must be provided another gift certificate for the balance. [replacement gift certificate under California Civil Code 1749.5] Could you testify as an expert? Do you know a California expert?

It probably will depend on whether the store plans on ever exiting bankruptcy and needs to keep a customer base. Stores like Circuit City are optimistic. Stores like Steve and Barry's... not so much.
