California attorneys will win more cases by always knowing the new published civil case law in their practice areas. California Case Summaries™ makes this fast and easy with its one-paragraph case summaries, organized by legal topic, of every new civil case published by California courts in monthly issues, quarterly issues, annual issues, or all three.
Every year California courts publish about 400 new civil cases, and many of them significantly change the law!
Attorneys could spend hours of time (losing lots of billable hours) each month trying to keep up with the new cases.
Or, they can easily keep up with the new cases by subscribing to California Case Summaries™. Individual Attorney and Law Firm Unlimited (letting the firm send summaries to every lawyer) subscriptions are available.
There are two ways to get California Case Summaries™:
1. Get a 1-Year Subscription to California Case Summaries™ when you Mediate with Monty McIntyre at ADR Services, Inc.
When an individual attorney conducts a half-day or full-day private mediation with Monty McIntyre, they will get a free 1-year Individual Attorney subscription to California Case Summaries™ (with monthly, quarterly and annual case summaries, a $1,999 annual value).

Can a plaintiff bring a PAGA representative claim for other employees if they have dismissed their individual claims?
CALIFORNIA COURTS OF APPEAL
Employment/PAGA
CRST Expedited, Inc. v. Super. Ct. (2025) __ Cal.App.5th __, 2025 WL 1874891: The Court of Appeal denied the employer defendant’s petition for writ of mandate seeking to overturn the trial court’s order denying defendant’s motion for judgment on the pleadings in plaintiff’s PAGA action alleging no individual claims, but only claims on behalf of other employees. The issue was whether Labor Code section 2699 authorizes an aggrieved employee to bring a lawsuit that seeks to recover civil penalties imposed for Labor Code violations suffered only by other employees. After plaintiff dismissed his individual claims, because they had been ordered to arbitration, defendant moved for judgment on the pleadings arguing that plaintiff could not bring PAGA claims for violations suffered only by other employees. The Court of Appel denied the writ petition, concluding that a plaintiff may bring a PAGA action seeking the recovery of civil penalties (1) for the Labor Code violations suffered only by the employee, (2) for the Labor Code violations suffered only by other employees, or (3) both. (C.A. 5th, July 7, 2025.)
