View this case - free  

Overview: A peremptory challenge to the trial judge under Code Civ.

View this case - free  

Overview: Because Monte Sereno Mun. Code, § 6.17.170, which provided for recovery of attorney fees by the city if it prevailed in a nuisance action, conflicted with the requirement of Gov. Code, § 38773.5, subd. (b), that ordinances allowing attorney fees in nuisance actions provide for recovery by the prevailing party, a fee award had to be reversed.

View this case - free  

Overview: Although a city did not tender its defense when it sought contractual indemnity in a negligence lawsuit, tender was not a prerequisite for reimbursement; the indemnity agreements were silent with respect to the costs of defense, and under Civ.

Overview: Injunction against street gang could not stand because State failed to show that gang was an unincorporated association for purpose of service under Corp. Code, §§ 18035, subd. (a), 18220; State also did not take steps reasonably calculated to apprise interested parties of pendency of action and afford them opportunity to present their objections.
