In the recent case of Arizona v. Autozone, Inc., one of the central issues addressed by the Arizona Supreme Court was the interpretation of Arizona's Consumer Fraud Act and whether that law authorizes disgorgement of profits earned in violation of the law to the State. The Court ultimately determined that the statute expressly allows for the restoration of losses to affected consumers, but it does not allow the State to seek disgorgement of monies received by a vendor in violation of the Consumer Fraud Act.

The Arizona Fair Housing Act, at A.R.S. 41-1491.01, precludes discrimination due to familial status.  Specifically, the Section provides that it is illegal to discriminate in connection with many housing-related transactions, including the sale or rental of housing, because a person is pregnant, living with a minor (in most cases), or is in the process of obtaining legal custody of a minor.

Statutes of limitation bar legal actions that are not filed in a timely manner. For example, in Arizona A.R.S. § 12-541 mandates that libel or slander claims be filed within one year. Although these time periods will usually be strictly enforced to compel the dismissal of a claim that is not timely filed, there are exceptions that sometimes work to toll the applicable statute of limitations.

Arizona law recognizes several different types of easements, which is a term generally used to address the right to use someone else's real property for some limited purpose. Many easements fall into one of four broad categories that have historically been enforced at common law, include (1) right-of-way easements; (2) easements of support; (3) easements of "light and air"; and (4) easements pertaining to artificial waterways.

Many successful litigants discover that winning a lawsuit doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to get paid what is owed to you. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to collect on a judgment and, in many cases, judgment creditors are left waiting for years to get the money owed to them.

Arizona Revised Statute Section 23-108.01 describes the duties of the Arizona Industrial Commission.

The first thing everyone wants to know when talking to an attorney about a possible lawsuit is how much their case is worth. Unfortunately, this is a question that can only be answered by the judge or jury that may ultimately hear your case. Although an attorney may be able to provide an opinion of the value of a case based on his or her experience with similar cases in the past, you should be leery of any lawyer who claims to be able to estimate such a value before having collected all the necessary information to ascertain your damages and weigh them against the strength of the claim that the defendant is liable for your damages.

People are often surprised to discover that there is no real mechanism to prevent someone from recording a false document in an Arizona county recorder's office that purports to claim an interest in real estate even where none actually exists. In other words, as long as someone complies with the technical requirements to record a document, they can record it - the county recorder does not have the duty or the ability to confirm that the document is not fraudulent.

If you've been fired from your job you need to understand the truth about your situation as soon as possible. If you do have potential claims there may be very short time limitations on taking action to pursue such claims.

A.R.S. § 23-353 sets forth the rules that apply regarding the payment of wages to employees who have quit their jobs or have been fired. The language of the statute has recently been amended to allow slightly more time for employers to pay discharged employees, but they still may have to receive their final pay before their regular payroll comes around, so employers should be careful to ensure that pay is received in a timely manner.

The Arizona Court of Appeals confirmed Arizona statutory law that Arizona home sellers are not required to disclose sex offenders to potential home buyers. The Court did, however, also find that fraud claims may be allowed if there is proof that sellers deliberately mislead the buyers in response to specific inquiries.
