UPDATE 11/18/10

On November 18, 2010, Outten & Golden filed suit against CB Holding Corp. and Charlie Brown’s Acquisition Corp. which operates the Charlie Brown’s Steakhouse, Bugaboo Creek and The Officer Beer Bar & Grill restaurants. The suit seeks to recover 60 days wages and benefits for former employees of the company under the Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”), the New Jersey WARN Act, and the New York WARN Act. We contend CB Holding Corp. and Charlie Brown’s Acquisition Corp., with their subsidiaries, ordered mass layoffs on or about November 17, 2010 without providing the employees with advance written notice.

The case is pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Generally, the WARN Act requires companies to provide their employees with 60 days(NJ, PA) or 90 days(NY) written notice in advance of a mass layoff or plant closing. In the absence of such notice, employers may be liable to each affected employee for 60 days wages and benefits.
