Wage Law

The Supreme Court will issue an opinion tomorrow in Alan v. American Honda Motor Co. Inc., S137238, B165756; 131 Cal.App.4th 886; Superior Court of Los Angeles County; BC195461. The matter was argued on January 30, 2007. The order granting review framed the issue as follows:

The court limited review to the following issue: Did the Statement of Decision and Minute Order dated January 2, 2003, trigger the 60-day period within which to notice an appeal under California Rules of Court, rule 8.104 (formerly rule 2(a)(1))?

We mentioned the case in January, because the Statement of Decision and Minute Order pertained to the denial of a class certification motion, which makes the case of some interest to wage and hour class action attorneys. Perhaps Fireside Bank, which was argued one day earlier, will be decided soon as well.
