California Court of Appeal

In a suit brought after plaintiff's dog died from complications of a spay procedure, although the statutory immunity provision of Food and Agriculture Code section 30804.7 does not render the County defendants immune from suit or liability, a release of liability signed by plaintiff is applicable to the County.
