In what circumstances will a court order a waiver waiver that waives POBRA protections be used to obtain attorney fees?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Hager v. Cnty. of L. A., B238277, c/wB239897 (Cal. App. 2014):

In Jaramillo v. County of Orange, supra, 200 Cal.App.4th 811, attorney fees were awarded because the plaintiff obtained an injunction requiring the County to amend its executive management waiver forms to expressly include language that no POBRA rights may be included in the waiver. (Id. at p. 827.) The injunction did not just benefit the plaintiff, or the executive-level sheriffs who will now know that they are not waiving POBRA protections, but it also inured to the benefit of the County by lessening the probabilities of abuse and corruption in the sheriff's office. (Id. at p. 829.)
