California Court of Appeal

In an employment disability action arising out of the termination of a police officer for failing to properly investigate and report an incident involving a sexually abused girl, the trial court's grant of plaintiff's petition for writ of mandate is affirmed over defendants' contentions that the trial court erred when it determined plaintiff was 'honorably retired' within the meaning of Penal Code section 16690 based only on the plain language of the statute and without reviewing the legislative history, where this interpretation leads to an absurd result.
