An applicant for employment, Jacob Atkinson (“Plaintiff” or “Class Representative”), filed a lawsuit against Burberry Limited (“Defendant,” and collectively with Plaintiff, the “Parties”) on behalf of himself and a class of similarly situated employees. The lawsuit, Atkinson v. Burberry Limited, a foreign corporation doing business as Burberry; and Does 1 through 20, Case No. 23-2-19460-8 SEA (the “Lawsuit”) is currently pending in King County Superior Court. Plaintiff claimed in the lawsuit that Defendant’s job postings for open positions in Washington State did not disclose the wage scale or salary range being offered. Defendant disputes Plaintiff’s claims and contends it has not violated any law and Plaintiff’s claims are without merit.
The Court has not made any determinations regarding the merits of the Plaintiff’s claims and it has not decided whether or not Defendant violated the law.
