And, While We're Talking About California


In an earlier post, I gave praise to a California appellate court for its treatment of the anonymous blogger issue.  But, if you got the impression that California lawsuits are really just about like lawsuits elsewhere, consider Orlando v. Alarm One.

In that case, the Alarm One people were sued for sexual battery, and other claims arising out the team-building exercises that they held for employees.  Alarm One sells residential alarm systems, and apparently has periodic sales motivational programs where the employees engage in zany, pep-rally style exercises.  One of the exercises involves giving spankings to adult sales force members who have not met their quota.

I can't write too much more about this, and don't feel the need to.  I take back my tongue in cheek comments that implied that Indiana law was problematic.
