California Court of Appeal
Castaic Lake v. Newhall Co. Water Dist., B254639
In a suit to overturn certain water-related action taken by defendants on the ground that they failed to comply with the open meeting requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act, Gov. Code section 54950 et seq., dismissal of the petition for writ of mandate and complaint for injunctive relief is affirmed where: 1) there was no Brown Act violation because the given notice substantially complied with the Act; and 2) although the given notice erroneously cited subdivision (c) of section 54956.9 instead of subdivision (d)(4), it adequately advised the members of the public that on March 14, 2013, the Newhall Board would be meeting with its legal counsel, in closed session, to discuss potential litigation in two cases.
