California Supreme Court

Los Angeles Unified School District, Plaintiff, Cross-Defendant and Respondent v. Great America — Corrigan, J…

July 12, 201049 Cal. 4th 739

Summary

Corrigan, J., dissenting, would hold that a public entity is not liable for breach of an implied warranty based solely on an unintentional nondisclosure or misrepresentation of material facts. She would require affirmative misrepresentation or intentional concealment, reasoning that this rule follows existing precedent and protects the integrity of public bidding without converting negligence into contractual liability. The dissent would reverse the Court of Appeal's judgment.
