Case overview
What this settlement is about
A proposed class action accuses Domino's and affiliated franchise entities of charging California customers hidden 'junk fees' on in-person pizza orders and disguising those charges as 'Tax 2' on receipts, even though the lawsuit alleges the fees actually cover Domino's own business expenses rather than any real tax. Plaintiff John Murphy claims Domino's sets the advertised prices and the 'taxes and fees' charged at its California stores, and that those in-store advertised prices fail to include all mandatory fees. The suit alleges this practice violates California's Honest Pricing Act, the Consumers Legal Remedies Act, the Unfair Competition Law, and the False Advertising Law. No settlement has been reached, and the case remains a proposed class action at this stage.
