Doma Title of Cal. v. Superior Court CA5
In 2007, plaintiffs Carolyn Cortina and 12 other escrow officers (“Class Representatives”) filed a class action against their employer, then named North American Title Company, Inc., a California corporation (Former NATC/Lennar Title). In 2010, the trial court granted a motion to certify class action.
According to the docket, Judge Jeffrey Y. Hamilton, Jr. made his first ruling in the case in September 2010, granting a motion in part. In September 2015, a court trial of Class Representatives’ claims for overtime began before Judge Hamilton. In October 2016, Judge Hamilton issued a statement of decision as to liability that found in favor of Class Representatives. A judgment has not yet been entered; however, there is a proposed judgment setting restitution for unpaid overtime wages at approximately $21 million and awarding a nearly equal amount in accrued prejudgment interest.
