This ruling mandates refunds to thousands of homeowners, totaling approximately <a href=\"http:\/\/inedc.com\/24\/government\/supreme-court-strikes-down-bureaucratic-burden-a-triumph-for-property-rights\/\">$23.5 million<\/a>, which were due for over a decade. The county, along with associated districts, spent over $1 million in attorney fees to delay these refunds, prompting questions about adherence to the law. Supervisor John Hidahl&#8217;s reliance on staff to interpret legal matters raises concerns about governmental accountability.<\/p>\n<p>BACKGROUND: The $30 million lawsuit filed in December 2015 by El Dorado Hills residents Thomas and Helen Austin challenged the collection of impact fees and &#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"grid-wrapper--20\">\n<h1 class=\"heading-1\">County of El Dorado v.

The trial court denied a second demurrer that renewed the County\u2019s previous claim that the limitations period for the Austins\u2019 action expired. On the County\u2019s petition for a writ of mandate to overturn this ruling, the Court of Appeal issued an alternative writ or order to show cause and issued a stay of proceedings. On plenary review, the Court of Appeal vacated the stay and denied the County&#8217;s petition for a writ of mandate. While the Court agreed with the County that a one-year limitations period applied, if not made within one year of the deadline for findings, the Court surmised the plaintiff has only a limited remedy for the subsequent payments made within one year before filing a refund action, not the entire corpus existing at the time of the deadline. The County\u2019s liability for failure to comply with its statutory duty is accordingly limited. The Court determined the trial court thus correctly overruled the demurrer, because there is at least some portion of the Austins\u2019 cause of action for a refund that is timely. &#8220;Whether this merits further litigation of this matter is for the Austins to determine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Residents Triumph as Court Orders Long-Delayed Repayments, Prompting Governance Scrutiny<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4965,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"source_name":"BY Larry Weitzman.
