PAGA, Severability: Second District, Division 4 Reposts Montano PAGA Opinion Upon Lifting Of Bankruptcy Stay

Two Years Later . . .

    On January 7, 2015, we posted about Montano v. The Wet Seal Retail, Inc., B244107 (2^nd Dist. Div. 4 1/13/15) (certified for pub.). This is a Private Attorneys General Act case following the holding in Iskanian v. CLS Transportation Los Angeles, LLC, 59 Cal.4th 348 (2014), that waiver of the employee's right to litigate representative claims is unenforceable.  Two years later, we can now report that as of 1/13/17, the case was reposted upon the lifting of a bankruptcy stay, with a slight modification made on 1/13/15 deleting footnote 7.
