2019(Hensler v. City of Glendale (1994) 8 Cal.4th 1, 27 [remedy is administrative mandamus].) Caltrans’s position is that it did indeed impose a requirement of dedication of the 1.31-acre strip as a condition for Prout to obtain the encroachment permit, and therefore the four-year limitations period began to run with the 1990 issuance of the permit and filing of the subdivision map.

Dore v. Thornburghgreen
cal · 1891 · cited in 2 California opinions naming this issue, 1923–2008
2 sentences

2008Bezdikian argues the Legislature’s failure to specify a statute of limitations for recognition actions, as opposed to enforcement actions, means these actions must still be subject to the four-year limitations period of section 343, as we concluded long ago in Dore v. Thornburgh, supra, 90 Cal. at page 67 .

2008A 10-year limitations period is also consistent with the 10-year period of enforceability for California judgments. (§ 683.020; see also § 683.110 et seq. [providing for extension of the 10-year enforceability period by renewal of the judgment].) Over a century ago, this court did hold in Dore v. Thornburgh (1891) 90 Cal. 64 [27 R 30] that the four-year “catchall” limitations period of section 343 applied to an action to recover upon a foreign judgment.
