LA Met. Transp. Auth. v. Super. Ct.
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA) seeks a writ of mandate directing the trial court to vacate its order granting an application to file a late claim against a public entity. (Gov. Code, 946.6 et seq.) On October 7, 2009, we requested opposition with directions to the parties to further brief whether the circumstances offered by real party in interest amount to mistake, inadvertence, surprise or excusable neglect when measured against the objective reasonably prudent person standard, that is, a mistake that could not be avoided in the exercise of due diligence. Court received opposition and a reply brief.
