Hao v. Millbrae Paradise LLC
Plaintiffs, Wei Hao and Faxue Gong, appeal from a summary judgment. Plaintiffs sued defendants, L.F. George Properties Corporation, George Lam, and Millbrae Paradise, LLC for:Labor Code violations; a violation of Business and Professions Code section 17200; wrongful termination;false imprisonment; negligent hiring; negligence; and intentional and negligent emotional distress infliction. Defendants moved for summary judgment or, as to each individual cause of action, summary adjudication of issues. Defendants argued: the Labor Code causes of action had no merit because there was no evidence they were plaintiffs’ employers; there was no evidence to support the false imprisonment claims; and plaintiffs’ tort claims were barred because they filed worker’s compensation claims. Defendants contended worker’s compensation was plaintiffs’ exclusive remedy for the tort claims. Defendants’ summary judgment motion was granted in its entirety.
