California Court of Appeal

In a suit alleging that various employers had violated provisions of the Labor Code that require employers to provide meal and rest periods for their employees, in which the trial court imposed civil penalties, including unpaid wages, against the defendants under the Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, restitution under the Unfair Competition Law, and prejudgment interest, the judgment is: 1) affirmed against the plaintiff's various challenges, including the denial of class certification, and against all but one of the defendants' challenges to the relief granted; and 2) reversed insofar as it allowed the plaintiff to avoid the judicial admission, set forth in his complaint, that the defendants had provided meal periods since July 2003, and permitted him to recover for missed meal periods after July 2003.
