Los Angeles Unified School District v. Superior Court (S269608)
This case involves the application of the Government Claims Act’s limitations on punitive damages against public entities with provisions allowing treble damages for some childhood sexual abuse claims. CSAC’s amicus brief, authored by its litigation counsel Jennifer Henning, argues that for a statute to override the Claims Act protections for public entities, it must do so explicitly. Statutory exceptions to Claims Act protections cannot be inferred.
