1990That case does speak of "the immunity from civil liability with which the law surrounds officials directly connected with the judicial processes. " ( Id. at p. 730, italics added.) However, a reading of the court's opinion shows that the court was more interested in the "connected with the judicial process" portion of the above quoted excerpt than with the fact that the defendant could be classified as an "official." In looking at the doctrine of immunity, the White court ( supra, 37 Cal.2d 727 ) said at pages 730-732: "The doctrine of immunity from liability for allegedly malicious acts has l

1962The case of Hardy v. Vial, 48 Cal.2d 577 [ 311 P.2d 494 ], relied upon by defendants, is distinguishable because the school defendants involved there did not make statements to the public but only to three nonschool persons who filed false charges against the plaintiff with an appropriate administrative body in carrying out an alleged conspiracy with the officials. . . .

2025At common law, the general rule was “that nonresidents of a state who come within the territorial limits of the state as parties litigants or to testify as witnesses in judicial proceedings are afforded an immunity or privilege from the service of civil process while in actual attendance at the hearing and during such reasonable time as may be consumed in going to, and returning from, the place of trial.” (Gerard v. Superior Court, supra, 91 Cal.App.2d at p. 552 .) The general rule was originally founded upon the convenience of the court.

2025After the lunch break, the trial court returned to the proposed instruction on the section 855.6 immunity, stating it understood the “defense argument [was] that there exists a claim in this case that may be a portion of plaintiff’s case constituting less than the entirety, but there is a claim in the plaintiff’s case that Officer Lombardi and/or other CHP officers failed to make an adequate physical or mental examination of [plaintiff] and, therefore, the immunity instruction should be given. [¶] Is that the defense’s position?” Defense counsel replied, “essentially,” and then asserted the st

2025(Soule v. General Motors Corp., supra, 8 Cal.4th at p. 572 .) Under that principle, our inquiry focuses on whether defendants advanced a theory of the case in which the immunity played a role and, if so, whether that theory was supported by substantial evidence.

2025Instead, in the passage invoked and partially misquoted by plaintiffs, Arista described section 820’s general rule concerning public employees: “ ‘ “[A] public employee is liable for [an] injury caused by his or her act or omission to the same extent as a private person,” except as otherwise provided by statute.’ ” ( Arista, supra, at p. 1060 , italics added; see also § 820, subd. (a) [“Except as otherwise provided by statute . . . a public employee is liable for injury caused by his act or omission to the same extent as a private person.”].) Plaintiffs also assert that Arista and two other ca

2023Relying on Brummett v. County of Sacramento (1978) 21 Cal.3d 880 , Salto argues that for City to avoid derivative liability for the actions of its officers engaged in an immediate pursuit (Gov.

2020The parent’s defended, inter alia, on the theory that they were immune from tort liability under the immunity defense as codified in section 846. 3 “The trial court found [plaintiff’s] claims were barred by the immunity set forth in section 846.” (Calhoon, supra, 81 Cal.App.4th at p. 113 .) The Court of Appeal disagreed.

2020We affirmed because the landowner, Unocal, did not extend to plaintiff “a direct, personal request . . . to attend this picnic.” ( Johnson, supra, at p. 317 .) Unlike the instant case, in Johnson there was not an express invitation from the landowner’s child who was living with the landowner on the property.

2020“In order to persuade an appellate court to overturn a jury verdict because of instructional error, an appellant must demonstrate that ‘the error was prejudicial [citation] and resulted in a “miscarriage of justice.”’” (Lundquist v. Reusser (1994) 7 Cal.4th 1193, 1213 .) Respondents claim that the erroneous instruction was not prejudicial: “[Appellant] never proposed a verdict form question . . . that would have allowed the jury to find that Gunner’s invitation abrogated [his parents’] immunity. . . .

2020Moreover, the court erroneously instructed the jury that the express invitation must be for a recreational purpose. “[I]mmunity is abrogated by an [express] invitation for any purpose.” (Pacific Gas & Electric Co. v. Superior Court (2017) 10 Cal.App.5th 563, 588 .) We therefore reverse the judgment on two causes of action as to which the jury found no liability based on the immunity defense.
