Shevertalova v. City of Saratoga (H050498)
CSAC is urging the Sixth District to strictly interpret the
provisions of the Government Claims Act and hold that if a
claimant cannot perfect a claim – because it is beyond the
one-year outside limit for relief from an application for leave
to present a late claim – then Government Code section 911.3(b)
cannot be read so broadly as to force a public entity’s waiver of
the untimeliness defense in litigation. CSAC’s brief was prepared
by Javan Rad and Danielle St. Clair in the Pasadena City
Attorney’s Office.
