"Lawyer Settles With AG for $1.8 Million"

Today's Daily Journal has this article. The headline does not seem quite accurate, because the article reports that the $1.8 million was not a settlement, but actually a default judgment consisting of "nearly $1.79 million in civil penalties plus $11,200 in restitution to [the lawyer's] alleged victims." According to the article, the default judgment was obtained in a UCL action brought by the AG's office against an attorney, Harpreet Brar, accused of abusing the UCL. Will the ironies never cease.
