Kane v. Valley Slurry Seal Co. CA3
After a bench trial on class action and individual wage and hour claims brought under Business and Professions Code section 17200 by Robert Kane, Ahmad Lloyd, Kosol Main, Jose Noe Galan and Javier Higuera Parra against their former employer, Valley Slurry Seal Company (Valley), the trial court found against Valley on some of the claims and entered judgment awarding $91,644.49 in total restitution and interest to the named plaintiffs on their individual claims, $218,277.94 in restitution and interest to the class, and injunctive relief requiring Valley to comply with California prevailing wage laws and meal break requirements. The court also awarded the named plaintiffs $996,232.72 in attorneys’ fees under Code of Civil Procedure section 1021.5. On appeal, Valley takes a scattershot approach to challenging the judgment and attorneys’ fees award. We begin by noting that the appellant must “[s]tate each point under a separate heading or subheading summarizing the point.”
