  3. Valeria Guerrero-Hernandez v. Ozburn-Hessey Logistics, LLC et al

    OPPOSITION to EX PARTE APPLICATION to Enforce Class Action Settlement Agreement and Send Additional Notices to Class Members; Memorandum of Points and Authorities; Declaration of Jennifer L. Katz in Support Thereof 76

    Filed March 12, 2019

    Therefore, in addition to the plain language of the Agreement being contrary to Defendant’s interpretation, Plaintiff’s interpretation is supported by the canon of contract interpretation that: “A contract must receive such an interpretation as will make it lawful, operative, definite, reasonable, and capable of being carried into effect, if it can be done without violating the intent of the parties.” Cal. Civ. Code § 1643. Rather than timely make its election, Defendant instead waited for preliminary approval to be granted, for the Court to certify a Settlement Class which includes post November 2017 employees, and for notice to go out to the certified Settlement Class.
