3674 DEPUBLISHED Although the Business and Professions Code generally prohibits opticians from renting space to optometrists, the Knox-Keene Act creates an exception for certain opticians, and an optician who qualifies for such an exception can not be liable for unfair business practices under the Business and Professions Code; an action under the Unfair Competition Law that does not allege damage or state on whose behalf plaintiff is suing may be dismissed.CitationCONSUMER CAUSE v NATIONALVISION (Optical Relationships) 111 CA4 1069 [See: B&PC 17200, 655, 2556; H&SC 1340 etseq, 1395; CelTech v LA Cellular 20 C4 163, T/AT 5/99]
