Supreme Court of the United States

Lujan, Labor Commissioner of California v. G & G Fire Sprinklers, Inc.

April 17, 2001532 U.S. 189

Summary

The Court reversed the Ninth Circuit, holding that California's Labor Code provisions allowing payment withholding without a hearing do not violate due process. The Court reasoned that because California law provides adequate judicial remedies to resolve contract disputes, those processes satisfy due process requirements. The opinion was delivered by Chief Justice Rehnquist.
