The State - News from Aug. 3, 1988
The Assn. for California Tort Reform, a group representing insurer and business groups, sued state Atty. Gen. John K. Van de Kamp in Sacramento Superior Court seeking a change in the ballot summary he has prepared for Proposition 100, an initiative backed by the state’s trial lawyers.

A later section, however, would leave the Legislature free to set such fee limits. A hearing was set Aug. 11.
