California Court of Appeal
People v. Superior Court (Solus Industrial Innovations), G047707
The trial court properly sustained defendants' demurrer to two civil causes of action based on alleged violations of Labor Code sections 6428 and 6429, brought against defendants by the district attorney following a referral from the Division of Occupational Safety and Health pursuant to Labor Code section 6315(g), where the statutory scheme for enforcement of workplace safety standards reflects that the Division is the governmental agency responsible for civil enforcement of the Labor Code provisions, and that mandatory referral of serious cases to prosecutors is primarily intended to facilitate criminal prosecution where appropriate.
