Kopp v. Coast U. Sch. Dist.
Plaintiff Nickolaus Kopp appeals the dismissal of his action against defendant Coast Unified School District (District) for inverse condemnation, damages and injunctive relief after his lawyer missed a pleading amendment deadline following the sustaining of a demurrer. We conclude, among other things, that: 1) the trial court erred by sustaining a demurrer to Kopp's causes of action on the ground that Kopp did not join a co-owner as a necessary party, and 2) Kopp's motion to set aside the dismissal should have been granted because it was based on his counsel's declaration showing his error in determining a pleading deadline. We reverse.
