California Court of Appeal

Grant of defendant's motion to decertify the class in plaintiffs' suit alleging that the defendant-employer failed to pay overtime wage is affirmed as substantial evidence supports the trial court's conclusion that the individualized issues of liability and damages will predominate over issues common to the class if the overtime claims are tried as a class action.
