Santos v. Los Angeles Unified School District
Annotate this CaseThe Court of Appeal reversed the trial court's determination that equitable estoppel did not apply to LAUSD's assertions of noncompliance with the Government Claims Act. In this case, plaintiffs filed suit against LASPD when an LASPD vehicle ran a red light and struck them. Upon learning that the vehicle was insured by LAUSD, plaintiffs amended their complaint to add LAUSD as a defendant. LAUSD moved for summary judgment, arguing that plaintiffs failed to comply with the requirements of the Government Claims Act because no government claim was ever filed with LAUSD. The court held that plaintiffs presented evidence sufficient to permit a finding that LAUSD was estopped from asserting noncompliance with the Government Claims Act as a defense.
