Xia v. Yunnan Impression CA2/8
Plaintiffs Wen Hong Xia, Xian Xian Zang, and Chunyan Hou were waitresses at a restaurant in Monterey Park between April 2010 and March 2014. During that time, the restaurant was sold to two different corporations with different owners and was renamed twice. Following their departure from the restaurant, plaintiffs sued the three corporations that owned the restaurant between 2011 and 2014, individuals who owned shares in those corporations, and an individual who worked at the restaurant but never had an ownership interest. Plaintiffs alleged failure to pay overtime, failure to provide meal and rest breaks, and conversion of tips, among other things. The first two corporations that owned the restaurant were dissolved before litigation and plaintiffs obtained default judgment against them. As to the remaining defendants, the trial court granted summary adjudication of two of plaintiffs’ 12 causes of action, and the remainder proceeded to a bench trial.
