Brinker Restaurant v. Superior Court (Hohnbaum), one of the most eagerly-awaited cases on the California Supreme Court's docket, will be argued on Tuesday, November 8, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. in San Francisco. The petition for review of the decision in Brinker Restaurant Corp. v. Superior Court (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 25 was filed more than three years ago. The case presents issues concerning the proper interpretation of California's statutes and regulations governing an employer's duty to provide meal and rest breaks to hourly workers.
Here is our take on the original opinion, published on July 22, 2008. There are quite a few companion cases.
Wow, this case was about three years old now and it hasn't been reviewed. Hope for the resolution of the problem regarding employer's duty to provide meal and rest breaks.
