Tansavatdi v. City of Rancho Palos Verdes (S267453)
The issue presented in this case is whether a public entity be held liable under Government Code section 830.8 for failure to warn of an allegedly dangerous design of public property that is subject to Government Code section 830.6 design immunity. CSAC’s amicus brief argues that allowing plaintiffs to hold public agencies liable for failing to warn of dangers inherent in an otherwise immune design undermines the legislative and policy aims of the Government Claims Act’s design-immunity provisions. The brief was drafted by Alexandra Atencio and Adam Hofmann of Hanson Bridgett LLP in San Francisco.
