What happened
A proposed class action against Sea World LLC, apparently concerning employment-related labor claims. The docket reflects class and California Unfair Competition Law claims, and the court recently granted in part and denied in part the defendant's motion to compel arbitration and dismiss those claims. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.
Do you qualify?
No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.
How to file
There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
