DALLAS, July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brinker International,
Inc. (NYSE:EAT) announced today that a California Court of Appeal
has issued an opinion in Brinker Restaurant Corp. v. Superior Court
of San Diego County which included rulings favorable to the company
related to meal and rest breaks. In its opinion, the Court found
that Brinker had the obligation to "make available" meal and rest
breaks to its employees, but did not have the obligation to
"ensure" that they were taken. In doing so, the Court ruled that
the case cannot proceed as a class action. "We are pleased that the
Court of Appeal ruled that the trial court should not have
certified a class in this case, and agrees with Brinker's
understanding of the legal standards for providing meal and rest
breaks," stated Roger Thomson, Executive Vice President and General
Counsel of Brinker International. "We look forward to the case's
return to the trial court for action on the remaining individual
issues." About Brinker International Brinker International, Inc. is
