Supreme Court of California
Dicampli-Mintz v. County of Santa Clara, S194501
In plaintiff's medical malpractice suit against a county hospital and others, the court of appeal's reversal of trial court's grant of defendants' motion for summary judgment on the ground that plaintiff failed to comply with the Government Claims Act because her claim was never presented to or received by a statutorily designated recipient as required by section 915, is reversed and remanded where neither section 915(a)'s specific requirements for compliance, nor section 915(e)(1)'s provision deeming actual receipt to constitute compliance were satisfied, and therefore, the court of appeal erred in holding that there was "substantial compliance."
