# News Alert – City Of Oroville V. Superior Court

 

 

| Dear Valued Clients and Associates,  The California Supreme Court recently ruled that under certain circumstances losses resulting from the backup and overflow of a public sewer system do not create strict liability for a public entity under inverse condemnation law.  We think this is a significant ruling and believe it may have broader applications.  We are currently strategizing with our clients to determine the best course of action for their agencies.  Visit us at CAJPA booth #117 to learn more and see how the team at George Hills can help you! For More Information Contact: Tom Baber Assistant VP –  Claims Administration Division 2910 East Inland Empire Boulevard, Suite 104 Ontario, CA 91764 Phone: (909) 738-0200 |
