Supreme Court schedules UCL case for argument in November: Solus Industrial Innovations v. Superior Court (People)

Last week, the Supreme Court announced that a UCL public prosecutor action, in which review was granted in 2015, will be orally argued on November 7, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. during the Court's special session in Sacramento.  Solus Industrial Innovations v. Superior Court (People), No. S222314.  

For a discussion of the procedural history of this case, see these two blog posts.  The Court of Appeal held that federal law (namely, Fed/OSHA) preempted the Orange County District Attorney's UCL and FAL prong claims, which are predicated in part on asserted violations of state workplace safety standards (i.e., Cal/OSHA).  Solus Industrial Innovations LLC v. Superior Court (People), 229 Cal.App.4th 1291 (2014), review granted.
