Employer Met Its Burden Of Proving At Least $5 Million Amount In Controversy For CAFA Removal
2015-03-18 20:23:04| Trucking - Topix.net
In this putative class action, plaintiffs alleged that Knight Transportation had misclassified them as independent contractors when in fact they were employees who were not reimbursed their lease-related and fuel costs as required by Labor Code 2802. Knight removed the case from state to federal court under the Class Action Fairness Act , estimating the amount in controversy for reimbursing the drivers' lease and fuel costs to be in excess of the $5 million minimum amount in controversy required for CAFA removal.
