A quick update on Target's lawsuit against Canvass For A Cause, the San Diego-based LGBT rights group. San Diego Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Barton denied the retailer's preliminary injunction that attempted to ban CFAC's canvassers from all stores in the state.
The legal case will continue, but this is great news for CFAC and all canvass groups, and director Tres Watson called it “a win for people who believe in free speech.”
The group's lawyer Bryan Pease noted it wasn't a full victory for either side, but the judge rejected Target's overreach.
“Target was not given the sweeping injunction they asked for, and the decision recognizes both the activists’ free speech rights and Target’s property rights,” he said.
