I'm out the door, and will do Doc.

Tee hee

As a painter, I always feel like a clown when I need to dress somewhat formally.



Anyhow, all seemed to go quite well for me. My ex-employer never did show, and the judge dismissed the case. However, just as I was walking out the door, the court had received a declaration from New World, so in I went.

I had covered most of what needed to be said in writing that I had filed a couple of weeks ago, so there was very little to be said. The judge asked me a few questions, mostly the same questions the EDD had asked me a month prior when they made the decision that I was discharged for reasons other than misconduct in the first place. He then told me I would be notified of his decision via mail.

It's my experience appellate courts rarely overturn the primary decisions as it undermines the department who made the decision. In my case, the primary decision was based upon the law, and I had made that known in court (as if the judge would not know). So, I remain very optimistic, and will probably be eligible for unemployment on my next claim. I receive the maximum benefit California allows, so it was all pretty well worth it to me.

I'll let you all know for a fact when I receive the judgment via snail mail in a day or so.

I receive the judgment via snail mail in a day or so.

They actually have email for some things.  I know, my wife is a paralegal and I have spent many days in the clerks office on her behalf (waiting for a signature).  Shame they cant do judgements that way, but the problem with email is there is no guarantee of delivery.

p.s.  Sorry for the duplicate post before.  I did not realize it had posted twice until I read your response.

Yeah, I suppose using verisign is ok, but to have to rely on a reciept is another story. It would be nice if they sent the judgement vai bot email, then snail mail.

Come to think of it, how do they verify the snail mail receipt?

No sweat Doc..it happens to the best of us...even me.

When I worked for a judicial Agency, all correspondance went out with a return receipt.  I suspect you are going to have to sign for it.

Gotcha. If I wasnt so lazy, I suppose I could simply go down there today and look in the file. It is after all, a public record.

In any event, I'm guessing it went in todays mail, which means I'll have it tomorrow.

It will give me time to file my claim with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement regarding the wages he cheated me out of on the certified payroll, and the Industrial Welfare Commission concerning a discrimination claim.

A decision in my favor on any or all of the claims from the EDD, DLSE, and/or the IWC is really going to help me drag this ass hole into civil court.

Aw, saw the picture! Good luck, hope the case went well. Will read your story later!

I've read your two previous post about your boss. Good luck, and hope things go your way.
