2000The courts that have made substantial-compliance findings in knock-notice cases have always been careful to explain that substantial compliance in this context means “ ‘actual compliance in respect to the substance essential to every reasonable objective of the [knock-notice] statute,’ as distinguished from ‘mere technical imperfections of form.’ ” (People v. Jacobs (1987) 43 Cal.3d 472, 483 [ 233 Cal.Rptr. 323 , 729 P.2d 757 ] (Jacobs), italics in original.) The lead opinion claims to be finding nothing different today.

Patrick v. Alacer Corp. green
calctapp · 2008
1 sentence

2023As explained above, section 1281.2 authorizes four options, including permitting the court to “refuse to enforce the arbitration agreement.” The court exercised its discretion to choose this option. 3 Duke’s argument that Patrick v. Alacer Corp. (2008) 167 Cal.App.4th 995 prohibits the trial court’s ruling misapplies the case.

People v. B.M. (In re B.M.) green

2 sentences

2019Because the defendant only held her momentarily and released her almost immediately, she “was in no danger from the force actually exerted on her body.” (Id. at p. 304.) The possibility that the defendant “could have easily broken [the victim’s] neck or could have choked her to the point of cutting off her breathing by exerting greater pressure on her neck or windpipe . . . would involve gross speculation on the part of the jury as to what the appellant would have done if he had not stopped.” (Id. at p. 303.) Our Supreme Court endorsed Duke’s analysis in B.M., supra, 6 Cal.5th 528 , 534- 535.
