In December 2003, Leonard Carder
successfully represented members of the Contra Costa County
Board of Supervisors in a lawsuit challenging false and
misleading statements made by Wal-Mart supporters in the
ballot arguments relating to Measure L. This measure, which
appears on the March 2, 2004 ballot, restricts companies from
developing big box retail establishments having significant
grocery operations within unincorporated areas of Contra
Costa County. Leonard Carder challenged 8 statements in the
pro-Wal-Mart ballot arguments and the judge agreed that each
and every one of these statements was false or misleading and
therefore need to be revised or stricken.
