Supreme Court Posts Statement of Issues on Review For Arias
November 27, 2007
Statement of issues on review have finally been posted in Arias v. Superior Court (Angelo Dairy), no. S155965:
Petition for review after the Court of Appeal granted a petition for peremptory writ of mandate. This case presents the following issues:
(1) Must an employee who is suing an employer for labor law violations on behalf of himself and others under the Unfair Competition Law (Bus. & Prof. Code, section 17203) bring his representative claims as a class action?
(2) Must an employee who is pursuing such claims under the Private Attorneys General Act (Lab. Code, § 2699) bring them as a class action?
Apparently, Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 1756, AFL-CIO v. Superior Court (2007) 148 Cal.App.4th 39, is the lead case. The first issue looks like an interesting one. The second one looks like a no-brainer.
