Sierra Palms Homeowners Association v. Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension Construction Authority

by
The Association filed suit against Metro and Foothill Transit for inverse condemnation and other torts arising from the construction and maintenance of part of the Metro Gold Line railway that runs adjacent to the condominium complex Sierra Palms manages. The trial court sustained Metro and Foothill Transit's demurrers and granted Metro and Foothill Transit's motions to strike the remainder of the second amended complaint. The Court of Appeal reversed the judgment as to Metro, holding that Sierra Palms has demonstrated on appeal that it can amend its complaint to allege facts sufficient to support standing for an inverse condemnation claim against Metro. However, Sierra Palms has failed to make such a showing in regards to Foothill Transit. View "Sierra Palms Homeowners Association v.
