2025When, as here, the conduct occurred before 1999, section 6304.5 may not be used to retroactively “ ‘change[] the legal consequences of past conduct by imposing new or different liabilities based upon such conduct[]’ ” or to “ ‘substantially affect[] existing rights and obligations[.]’ ” (Elsner, supra, 34 Cal.4th at p. 937 .)

1971Co. v. Haidinger-Hayes, Inc ., we could safely set forth a general rule that in actions for professional or fiduciary malpractice, the cause of action does not accrue until the plaintiff discovers, or should discover, the negligence, and note that the legal malpractice cases were the lone exception to that rule. ( 1 Cal.3d at p. 596 .) In sum, the rule against delayed accrual of legal malpractice actions finds many critics, but no defenders.
