Gateway Blvd Holdings v State of California Office of the Controller (22STCV21036)
This case is a challenge of application of SB 2 fees to documents submitted for recordation to the County Recorder. Specifically at issue is when a single document incorporates two separately indexable documents, should fees be charged for one document or two? CSAC’s brief argues that the LA County Recorder properly charged two fees – one for each separately indexable document – under authority of the applicable statute and the Document Recording and Indexing Manual published by the County Recorders’ Association of California. CSAC’s brief was prepared by its Associate Counsel Joel Ellinwood.
