Juarez v. Ali CA6
After a court trial, the trial court rejected a wage and hour action brought by plaintiffs Martin Juarez and Adrian Ramirez against defendant MB Body Shop and its principals. The court subsequently denied defendants’ request for attorney’s fees pursuant to Labor Code section 218.5. On appeal, plaintiffs contend that the court (1) erred in concluding that MB Body Shop complied with state minimum wage and overtime requirements; (2) abused its discretion in refusing to vacate its ruling granting defendants’ motion for judgment (Code Civ. Proc., § 631.8) on plaintiffs’ cause of action for failure to provide rest breaks; (3) erred in concluding that MB Body Shop was not liable for restitution under Business and Professions Code section 17203 or for penalties under sections 203, 226, and 2698 et seq.; and (4) erred in rejecting Juarez’s cause of action for violation of the Ralph Civil Rights Act (Civ. Code, § 51.7; the Ralph Act).
