Supreme Court expresses potential interest in class certification case: Bell v. Superior Court (H.F. Cox, Inc.)

Last Friday, March 21, 2008, the Supreme Court gave itself an extension of time, through April 28, 2008, to grant or deny review in Bell v. Superior Court (H.F. Cox, Inc.), no. S160423.

In Bell, the Court of Appeal (Second Appellate District, Division Three) affirmed in part and reversed in part the trial court's order denying certification of meal period and rest break, off-the-clock, and other wage and hour claims. Bell v. Superior Court (H.F. Cox, Inc.), 158 Cal.App.4th 147 (2007). My original post on the decision is here. The Supreme Court is also considering two depublication requests, one of which was filed by yours truly.
