Operative Text

Cal. Civ. Code § 407.120
The provisions of sections 407.010 to 407.130 shall not bar any civil claim against any person who has acquired any moneys or property, real or personal, by means of any practice declared to be unlawful by this chapter.
Source: Legislative text reproduced verbatim
Plain English

Missouri Revised Statutes § 407.120 clarifies that the consumer-protection remedies established in §§ 407.010–407.130 do not eliminate or replace other civil legal claims that may exist when someone has obtained money or property through practices the chapter declares unlawful. In other words, a person harmed by an unlawful practice retains whatever additional civil causes of action the law otherwise provides, alongside any remedies available under this chapter. The provision functions as a savings clause, preserving the full range of potential legal recourse rather than narrowing it.

For Property Managers

Property owners and managers operating in Missouri should be aware that § 407.120 means compliance obligations under the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (§§ 407.010–407.130) do not define the outer boundary of legal exposure. A compliant operator generally understands that conduct found to violate this chapter could simultaneously give rise to separate civil claims—such as common-law fraud or unjust enrichment—brought by affected parties. Operators typically consult legal counsel to assess the full scope of potential liability when any practice under this chapter is at issue.

For Tenants

Under § 407.120, Missouri tenants who believe a landlord has obtained money or property through practices declared unlawful by §§ 407.010–407.130 are not limited solely to remedies provided by that chapter. This provision preserves the right to pursue additional civil claims that may exist under other areas of law, meaning multiple legal avenues can potentially be available at the same time. Tenants exploring their options may consider reaching out to a tenant-rights organization or legal aid office to understand the full range of civil remedies that might apply to their situation.
