EPSTEIN, P.J.

The issue in this case is whether plaintiffs may invoke the damage and injunctive relief provisions of the Information Practices Act (Civ.Code, § 17981 et seq., IPA) in a dispute with the Franchise Tax Board (Board or FTB). We conclude that they may, but that plaintiffs' damages claims are barred by the Government Claims Act (Gov.Code, § 900 et seq.).
