California’s AB 5 (Cal. Lab. Code §§ 2750.3) uses the ABC test to classify workers. If you are demanding the return of materials or disputing a schedule from a former instructor, your letter must reflect their correct classification. Improper classification can lead to counter-claims under Cal. Lab. Code § 2922 regarding at-will status or benefit disputes.
Yes. Under Cal. Civ. Code § 1550, if your music theory or group lesson enrollment contract was properly executed with lawful consideration, you can demand the principal amount plus legal interest. Ensure you cite the specific tuition or rental clause from your signed agreement.
If the dispute involves a student's educational records or family contact data, you must be mindful of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Your demand letter should maintain the integrity of student records as required by FERPA while asserting your right to enforce contractual obligations.
