Wage Law

Many of the complex litigation cases in Alameda County, including a large number of wage and hour class actions, are being reassigned from Judge Bonnie L. Sabraw, who has retired, to Judge Steven Brick in Department 22. One of Judge Sabraw's last cases was the SprintPCS cell phone early termination fee case, in which she held that Sprint's $200 ETF violated California's unfair competition law. There is no change regarding the other complex litigation assignment, where Judge Robert Freedman in Department 20 is still handling complex cases.
