Price v. Automobile Club of Southern California
Plaintiff Elvan Price, Jr., an employee of the Automobile Club of Southern California (ACSC), filed a class action in Los Angeles County Superior Court against ACSC for violations of Labor Code statutes and unfair competition. Eight months earlier, however, another plaintiff, Tinisha Felix, filed a class action complaint against ACSC in Orange County Superior Court, alleging the same causes of action and statutory violations as the subsequently filed Price action. ACSC demurred to the Price complaint on the ground of another action pending (Code Civ. Proc., 430.10, subd. (c)) and on the ground of the doctrine of exclusive concurrent jurisdiction. The trial court sustained the demurrer without leave to amend and stayed the Price action until resolution of the Felix action. Price appeals.
