Class Action Lawsuit for Businesses against Yelp for unfair practices

If you own a small business, you may have potential legal claims against Yelp. The following are examples of alleged business practices that may give rise to a legal claim against Yelp:  

(1) Yelp not allowing a business to remove or correct untrue statements about the business;

(2) Yelp not taking down a false defamatory review posted by a competing business;

(3) Yelp charging fees to a business in order to mitigate the impact of a false defamatory review;

(4) Yelp not allowing a business to respond to a false defamatory review on Yelp;

(5) Yelp removing a business’s response to a false defamatory review on Yelp;

(6) Yelp requiring that a business change its response to a false defamatory review on Yelp;

(7) Yelp refusing a business’s request to correct the name of its business on Yelp.

(8) Promoting negative reviews and hiding positive reviews.

The above are only examples. Your business may have experienced other unfair  business practices that may give rise to a claim for restitution of money and/or injunctive relief.
