California Court of Appeal
Dane-Elec Corp. v. Bodokh, 055312
Held that a company was not entitled to an award of attorney fees upon defeating wage claims brought by its former chief executive officer. Even if the parties' contract required an award of fees, this was prohibited by California Labor Code section 218.5, an attorney fee-shifting statute applicable in actions for nonpayment of wages. Reversed the fee award and remanded.
