2020To satisfy timely notice, “filing of the first claim must alert the defendant in the second claim of the need to begin investigating the facts which form the basis for the second claim.” (McDonald, supra, 45 Cal.4th at p. 102, fn. 2 ; see also Elkins, supra, 12 Cal.3d at pp. 412, 417-418.)

1996The effect of this ruling will be to increase the number of unripe and anticipatory lawsuits in the federal courts—lawsuits that should not be filed until some concrete harm has been suffered, and until the parties, and the forces of time, have had maximum opportunity to resolve the controversy.” (Chardon, supra, 454 U.S. at p. 9 [ 70 L.Ed.2d at p. 9 ] (dis. opn. of Brennan, J.).) It is true, as Rockwell argues, that courts of this state have relied upon federal authority interpreting title VII in determining the meaning of analogous provisions of the FEHA.
