§ 17096 Injunction Proceedings Against Officers

• •If a boss or worker is sued for doing something bad, the court can stop them even if they were just following orders.
• •The court only needs to see that the company or group meant to do something wrong, not just the person in charge.
• •This rule helps hold people accountable even if they say 'I was just doing my job.'

A manager at a store tells workers to dump trash in a river to save money.

The court can stop the manager and the store from doing this, even if the manager says the store owner told them to do it. The law says it’s enough to show the store meant to break the rules.
