How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• “The ‘liquidated damages’ allowed in section 1194.2 13 are in effect a penalty equal to the amount of unpaid minimum wages.”
• “However, the concept of a benefit is neither a necessary 2 nor a sufficient condition for liability under the ‘suffer or permit’ standard. Instead, as we have 3 explained, the basis of liability is the defendant’s knowledge of and failure to prevent the work 4 from occurring.”
