BILL NUMBER: AB 1318INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Davis FEBRUARY 18, 2011 An act to add Section 3333.6 to the Civil Code, relating to civil damages. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1318, as introduced, Davis. Civil damages. Existing law provides that for the breach of an obligation arising from contract, the measure of damages is the amount which will compensate the party aggrieved for all the detriment proximately caused thereby, or which, in the ordinary course of things, would be likely to result therefrom, except as specified. Existing law provides that the measure of damages for a breach of an obligation not arising from contract is the amount that will compensate for all the detriment proximately caused. This bill would prohibit a person, in any action to recover damages due to an unlawful strike, from recovering damages resulting from revenue losses caused by the strike or damages resulting from expenses incurred by the employer in anticipation of, or in preparation for, the strike. The bill would define "unlawful strike" as any strike that has been determined unlawful by a court or the Public Employment Relations Board. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
