Report Link Attorney Fee Awards Favor Employers.
Barker Olmsted & Barnier - April 16, 2008
In employment law cases, attorney fee awards often add insult to injury. On top of large damage awards, courts often award substantial attorney fees to the employee's lawyer. Many labor and employment laws, such as the California Labor Code and the Fair Employment and Housing Act, include attorney fee provisions.
Report Link Attorneys' Fee Award to California Employer for Defending Unfounded Discrimination and Retaliation Claims Upheld.
Jackson Lewis LLP - March 26, 2008
Affirming an attorneys’ fee award of almost $40,000 to an employer in a race discrimination and retaliation case brought under the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the California Court of Appeal has ruled that the award was warranted in light of the plaintiff’s unfounded claims. Finding that the plaintiff failed to prove that the employer’s reasons for its actions were pretextual, the court affirmed summary judgment in favor of the employer and rejected the plaintiff’s attempt to reverse the judgment by relying on evidence excluded by the trial court to raise a material issue of disputed fact.
Report Link AB 886--New Form of California Acknowledgment and Jurat.
Cooley Godward Kronish LLP. - December 13, 2007
When complicated things change, only those that do transactions in the niché area are affected, and those people generally have counsel that guide them through the impact of the change. When basic things change—such as the form of Acknowledgment, also known as a notary certificate, everything changes, and confusion often reigns. Such is the case now that California has changed the form of notary certificate, which is most often used in acknowledging a signature of a party executing any document that is to be recorded in the records of the County Recorder.
