KLINE v. SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DIST (1940)

Supreme Court of California.

KLINE v. SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL DIST. et al.

Civ. 11383.

Decided: September 16, 1940

Philander B. Beadle and Jasper L. Searles, both of San Francisco, for appellant. John J. O'Toole City Atty., and Walter A. Dold, Chief Deputy City Atty., both of San Francisco (Irving G. Breyer, of San Francisco, of counsel) for respondents.

The petition for a hearing after decision by the District Court of Appeal is denied. It should be observed, however, that the statement in the opinion of the District Court of Appeal, 104 P.2d 661, 662, that the section of the School Code under which the plaintiff's claim was made ‘must be construed strictly’, was not necessary to the decision and in addition is contrary to the provision of section 3 of that code which enjoins a liberal construction of the provisions of said code and all proceedings under it ‘with a view to effect its objects and to promote justice’.
