Alford v. County of Los Angeles
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed a petition for writ of mandate under Code of Civil Procedure section 1094.5, seeking to overturn the decision to keep his name on the Child Abuse Central Index. The Court of Appeal reversed the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the Department, holding that the Department did not serve notice of its decision in compliance with section 1094.6 and thus the statute of limitations did not bar his petition. Pursuant to section 1094.6, an agency must not add confusing information to the required notice that could mislead affected parties about the timing for seeking judicial review.
