To date Outland has played in Germany, New Zealand, Sweden, Canada and the USA. In 2013 he had two plays running simultaneously in separate countries. Songs For Europe, a drama about the Eurovision Song Contest, played to rave reviews and packed houses at the Melbourne Fringe Festival, while the short work Found was featured as part of the London Design Festival. In 2014 he became showrunner on Night Terrace, an 8 part audio comedy series.

    FOR PUBLICATION UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT GERARDO VAZQUEZ, GLORIA No. 17-16096 ROMAN, and JUAN AGUILAR, on behalf of themselves and all other D.C. No. similarly situated, 3:16-cv-05961- Plaintiffs-Appellants, WHA v. OPINION JAN-PRO FRANCHISING INTERNATIONAL, INC., Defendant-Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California William Alsup, District Judge, Presiding Argued and Submitted December 18, 2018 San Francisco, California Filed May 2, 2019 Before: Ronald M. Gould and Marsha S. Berzon, Circuit Judges, and Frederic Block, District Judge.* Opinion by Judge Block * The Honorable Frederic Block, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of New York, sitting by designation. 2 VAZQUEZ V. JAN-PRO FRANCHISING INT’L SUMMARY** California State Law / Employment Law The panel vacated the district court’s dismissal on summary judgment of a complaint brought by a putative class against a defendant international business that had developed a sophisticated “three-tier” franchising model, seeking a determination whether workers were independent contractors or employees under California wage order laws; and remanded for further proceedings. In a decision post-dating the district court’s decision, the California Supreme Court in Dynamex Ops. W. Inc. v. Superior Court, 416 P.3d 1 (Cal. 2018), adopted the “ABC test” for determining whether workers are employees under California wage order laws. The test requires the hiring entity to establish three elements to disprove employment status: (A) that the worker is free from the control of the hiring entity in connection with work performance – both under the performance contract and in fact; (B) that the worker performs work outside the hiring entity’s usual business; and (C) that the worker is customarily engaged in an independent business of the same nature as the work performed.

  • 17-1299 Franchise Tax Bd. of Cal. V. Hyatt (05/13/2019)
    (Slip Opinion) OCTOBER TERM, 2018 1 Syllabus NOTE: Where it is feasible, a syllabus (headnote) will be released, as is being done in connection with this case, at the time the opinion is issued. The syllabus constitutes no part of the opinion of the Court but has been prepared by the Reporter of Decisions for the convenience of the reader. See United States v. Detroit Timber & Lumber Co., 200 U. S. 321, 337. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Syllabus FRANCHISE TAX BOARD OF CALIFORNIA v. HYATT CERTIORARI TO THE SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA No. 17–1299. Argued January 9, 2019—Decided May 13, 2019 Respondent Hyatt sued petitioner Franchise Tax Board of California (Board) in Nevada state court for alleged torts committed during a tax audit. The Nevada Supreme Court rejected the Board’s argument that the Full Faith and Credit Clause required Nevada courts to ap- ply California law and immunize the Board from liability. The court held instead that general principles of comity entitled the Board only to the same immunity that Nevada law afforded Nevada agencies. This Court affirmed, holding that the Full Faith and Credit Clause did not prohibit Nevada from applying its own immunity law. On remand, the Nevada Supreme Court declined to apply a cap on tort liability applicable to Nevada state agencies. This Court reversed, holding that the Full Faith and Credit Clause required Nevada courts to grant the Board the same immunity that Nevada agencies enjoy. The Court was equally divided, however, on whether to over- rule Nevada v. Hall, 440 U.

  • Structuring Licenses to Avoid the Inadvertent Franchise
    Structuring Licenses To Avoid The Inadvertent Franchise by Rochelle B. Spandorf Trademark Licensors Beware: Is Your License or Distribution Agreement Really a Franchise? In Gentis v. Safeguard Business Systems,1 the defendant retained commissioned sales agents to solicit orders, follow leads, and provide customer service. The agents did more than just take orders, but lacked authority to enter into binding sales contracts with customers, never took title any goods, never bought inventory, seldom made deliveries, and did not handle billing or collection. When the relationship between the agents and Safeguard soured, the agents sued Safeguard for violating California s Franchise Investment Act, the first franchise sales law in the country and the model for both the federal and state franchise sales laws that followed.2 In one of the few California appellate court decisions interpreting the statute, to Safeguard s surprise, the court found that the relationship between the sales agents and Safeguard to be a franchise. In Charts v. Nationwide Insurance Co.,3 a Connecticut federal district court found an insurance agency to be a franchise within the scope of the Connecticut Franchise Act and concluded that Nationwide had wrongfully terminated the agency without good cause in violation of the Connecticut statute justifying a $2.3 Million judgment award. While the judgment was eventually reversed three years later on different grounds,4 it temporarily rocked an industry that had never seriously considered the possibility that insurance agents might be treated as franchisees.5 Even the famous clothing manufacturer, Gap International, found itself caught in the franchise snare.

    248 book reviews Niklas Frank, Dunkle Seele, feiges Maul: Wie absurd, komisch und skandalös sich die Deutschen beim Entnazifizieren reinwaschen (Bonn: Dietz, 2016). – 579 pages. – isbn 9783801204051. The author of this book is the son of Hitler’s governor of Poland and leading Nazi, Hans Frank, one of the main instigators of the Holocaust, personally responsible for Auschwitz—the camp and what went on there. Denouncing his father, Niklas Frank also wrote a bbc documentary ‘My Nazi Legacy’. In his latest book, Dunkle Seele, feiges Maul [The Dark Souls of German Nazis], Frank investigates what hap- pened to ex-Nazis in the immediate postwar years in Germany. While his father was hanged after the Nuremberg trials for war crimes, most other leaders of the National Socialist movement got off virtually scot free. Based on substantial archival studies, Niklas Frank takes the Spruchkammerverfahren or Denazification Hearings, set up precisely to make sure that did not happen, to task. Between 1946 and 1950 thousands of ex-Nazis appeared in front of such hearing. All but a few either served no time at all for their criminal acts or received short sentences. That the Nazis were not totally eradicated and punished beggars the imagination. These so-called Denazification Hearings were linked to the word Persilschein, a German idiom deriving from a brand of laundry detergent, Persil. To gain a Persilschein means to be clean, forever purged of schmutz. Thousands of ex-Nazis were eager to gain a certificate [Schein] that said ‘iv’ or ‘v’, not guilty or spar- kling clean. The five classification were: i major offenders (Hauptschuldige); ii offenders: Nazi activists, militants, or profiteers (Belastete); iii lesser offenders (Minderbelastete); iv followers (Mitläufer); and finally, v exonerated persons (Entlastete).
