Cert denied of Supreme Court workplace safety opinion that criticized Ninth Circuit

October 16, 2018

The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday decided not to review the California Supreme Court’s decision in Solus Industrial Innovations, LLC v. Superior Court.  In an opinion at odds with a 20-year-old similar Ninth Circuit case, the state high court unanimously held that federal OSHA legislation does not preempt a California district attorney’s civil penalties action under the state’s unfair competition and fair advertising laws for workplace safety violations.
