Shine v. Williams-Sonoma, Inc.

by
The Court of Appeal affirmed the district court's dismissal of a putative class action against Williams-Sonoma, alleging that the company failed to pay prospective class members reporting-time pay. The plaintiff in this case was a member of a previous wage and hour class action that had settled and he received a share of the settlement proceeds. In this case, the court held that Williams-Sonoma's demurrer was properly sustained without leave to amend on grounds of res judicata because all the claims in this case were based on the same theory as the previous case. Therefore, the court did not reach the other remaining issues. View "Shine v. Williams-Sonoma, Inc." on Justia Law
