Schwan Foods

The attachment (“Order”) below discusses Righetti Law success in litigating this lawsuit on behalf of our clients.

Elder v. Schwan Foods:

• First Appeal: On May 12, 2011, the California Court of Appeal reversed a trial court order that failed to award restitution and penalties following a jury verdict in favor of Righetti Law client. The Court of Appeal ordered the trial court to reconsider the equitable remedies of restitution and civil penalties.

• Second Appeal: On February 27, 2013, the employer contended it was deprived of its right to a statement of decision because the trial court did not issue a tentative decision. The Court of Appeal found that there was no prejudicial error and there was sufficient evidence in the record to award restitution and civil penalties for violation of California’s overtime laws.
