California Court of Appeal
County of Los Angeles v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County, B241171
A county's petition for a writ of mandate, challenging the trial court's adverse ruling in a negligence suit filed by plaintiffs for sustaining injuries by privately-owned pit bulls, is granted and the trial court's order denying the county's motion for summary judgment vacated where: 1) the trial court erred in concluding that the Los Angeles County Code imposed a mandatory duty on the county to capture the pit bulls before the attack; and 2) plaintiffs' additional arguments for imposing liability on the county lack merit.
