On Aug. 28, 2017, the California Supreme Court issued a 5-2 split decision in California "Cannabis Coalition v. City of Upland," S234148.

Jennifer Cona and Dana Walsh Sivak of Genser Dubow Genser & Cona write: The practice of crowdfunding donations remains largely unregulated, with little guidance as to how to resolve issues that may arise in the course of a fundraiser organized through a crowdfunding site.
