California Supreme Court
Latrice Rubenstein, Plaintiff and Appellant v. Doe No. 1, Defendants and Respondents.
August 28, 2017221 Cal. Rptr. 3d 761
Summary
The court held that Rubenstein's 2012 claim against a public entity was untimely because her cause of action accrued when the alleged molestation occurred, not when she later discovered her adult psychological injury. The court concluded that the childhood-sexual-abuse limitations statute extended the period for filing suit but did not delay or restart accrual for purposes of the government-claims requirement. It reversed the Court of Appeal's judgment and remanded for further proceedings.
