SUPERIOR COURT 61 Cal.Ath 339 (2015) 188 Cal. Rptr. 3d 309 349 P.3d 1013 ( page 348 and 349 ) (4) Courts have delineated what is necessary to establish a mandatory duty. "First and a5 16 foremost, .. the enactment at issue [must] be obligatory, rather than merely discretionary or permissive, in its directions to the public entity; it must require, rather as than merely authorize or permit, that a particular action be taken or not taken." Haggis v. City of Los Angeles (2000) 22 Cal.4th 490, 498 [93 Cal.Rptr.2d 327, 993 P.2d 983] (Haggis).) "It is not enough, moreover, that the public entity or officer have been 20 a 2 under an obligation to perform a function if the function itself involves the exercise of o discretion." (Ibid,, italics added.) Moreover, "[cJourts have ... [found] a mandatory duty aa only if the enactment ‘affirmatively imposes the duty and provides implementing ‘guidelines."" (Guzman v. County of Monterey (2009) 46 Cal.4th 887, 898 [95 Cal.Rptr.3d 183, 209 P.3d 89] (Guzman), """[T]he mandatory nature of the duty must be phrased in explicit and forceful language." [Citation.] "It is not enough that some 26 21 28 statute contains mandatory language. [61 Cal.4th 349] In order to recover plaintiffs SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 10 a 2 a a4 45 16 6) have to show that there is some specific statutory mandate that was violated by the [public entity]...."" [Citations.]” (Id. at pp. 910-911.) (5) Whether an enactment imposes "a mandatory duty, rather than a mere obligation to perform a discretionary function, is a question of statutory interpretation for the courts." (Creason, supra, 18 Cal.4th at p. 631.) The enactment's "language ‘is, of course, a most important guide in determining legislative intent, [but] there are unquestionably instances in which other factors will indicate that apparent obligatory language was not intended to foreclose a governmental entity's or officer's exercise of discretion." (Haggis, supra, 22 Cal.4th at p. 499.) For example, the word "shall" is "mandatory" for Purposes of the Welfare and Institutions Code. (§ 15; Gov. Code, § 14 [same].) "However, as we. have emphasized, this term's inclusion in an enactment does not necessarily create a mandatory duty..." within the meaning of Government Code section 815.6. (Guzman, supra, 46 Cal.4th at p. 899.) ‘ Gai THOMPSON, Plaintiff and Appellant, y. CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE, Defendant and Respondent. ( Page 54) C. Analysis On appeal, owner again urges that “the duty involved was mandatory and not discretionary.” 1. Government Tort Liability: Based on Statute} a.—b.7 2. Failure to Discharge a Mandatory Duty—Government Code Section 815.6 Government Code section 815.6 provides: “Where a public entity is under a mandatory duty imposed by an enactment that is designed to protect against the SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 11 10 u 13 4a as 16 uv 18 as a 22 23 24 25 26 21 28 risk of a particular kind of injury, the public entity is liable for an injury of that kind proximately caused by its failure to discharge the duty unless the public entity establishes that it exercised reasonable diligence to discharge the duty.” Thus, “Government Code section 815.6 contains a three-pronged test for determining whether liability may be imposed on a public entity: (D) an enactment must impose a mandatory, not discretionary, duty (Morris v. County of Marin (1977) 18 Cal.3d 901, 907-909 [136 Cal.Rptr. 251, 559 P.2d 606]); (2) the enactment must intend to protect against the kind of risk of injury suffered by the party asserting section 815.6 as a basis for liability (see Shelton v. City of Westminster (1982) 138 Cal.App.3d 610, 619-620 [188 Cal.Rptr. 205]; Hecton v. People ex rel. Dept. of Transportation (1976) 58 Cal.App.3d 653, 656 [130 Cal.Rptr. 230]); and (3) breach of the mandatory duty must be a proximate cause of the injury suffered. (See Whitcombe v. County of Yolo (1977) 73 Cal. App.3d 698, 707-708 [141 CaL.Rptr. 189]; see generally Van Alstyne, Cal. Government Tort Liability Practice (Cont.Ed.Bar 1980) §§ 2.41-2.48, pp. 93-107)” (State of California v. ‘Superior Court (Perry) (1984) 150 Cal.App.3d 848, 854, 197 Cal.Rptr. 914.) (PAGE 56-57) The Supreme Court has noted that “there is no simple, mechanical test for determining whether a provision should be given ‘directory’ or ‘mandatory’ effect. ‘In order to determiite whether a particular statutory provision . is mandatory or directory, the court, as in all cases of statutory construction and interpretation, must ascertain the legislative intent. In the SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 12 10 re a2 a3 ua 18 16 a 18 as 20 2a 22 23 24 25 26 21 28 e absence of express language, the intent must be gathered from the terms of the statute construed asa whole, from the nature and character of the act to be done, and from the consequences which would follow the doing or failure to do the Particular act at the required time, [Citation.] When the object is to subserve ‘some public purpose, the provision may be held directory or mandatory as will best accomplish that purpose [citation].’” (Morris v. County of Marin, supra, 18 Cal.3d 901, 909-910, 136 Cal.Rptr. 251, 559 P.2d 606.) THIRD PARTY BENEFACTOR 1) The contract between the city and county of San Francisco makes it clear its for a homeless person the city and county of San Francisco and ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY OF SAN FRANCISCO goes on to list on 7 pages regarding how to treat the clients and other requirements that benefit the “TARGET POPULATION” SOUZA v. WESTLANDS WATER DIST., 135 Cal.App.4th 879 (2006) page 891 “ ‘The test for determining whether a contract was made for the benefit of a third person is whether an intent to benefit a third person appears from the terms of the contract. [Citation.] If the terms of the contract necessarily require the promisor to confer a benefit on a third person, then the contract, and hence the parties thereto, contemplate a benefit to the third person. The parties are presumed to intend the consequences of a performance of the contract.’ [Citation.]” (Prouty v. Gores Technology Group, supra, 121 Cal.App-tth at p. 1232, 18 Cal.Rptr.3d 178.) A party need not show that it was intended to benefit as an individual and may Prevail by showing that it is a member of a class the parties intended to benefit. (Ibid.) At the same time, it is not enough that the third party would incidentally SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 13 10 n 2 13 uM 15 16 ay Fry as 20 a 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 have benefited from performance. (Martinez v. Socoma Companies, Inc. (1974) LI Cal.3d 394, 406, 113 Cal.Rptr. 585, 521 P.2d 841; Bancomer S.A. v. Superior Court (1996) 44 Cal_App.4th 1450, 1459, 52 Cal.Rptr.2d 435.) “The circumstance that a literal contract interpretation would result in a benefit to the third party is not enough to entitle that party to demand enforcement. The contracting parties must have intended to confer a benefit on the third party.” (Neverkovec v. Fredericks (1999) 74 Cal. App.4th 337, 348, 87 Cal.Rptr.2d 856.) In determining whether the contract contemplates a benefit to the third party, the court must read ‘the contract in light of the circumstances in which the parties entered into it. (Garcia v. Truck Ins. Exchange (1984) 36 Cal.3d 426, 437, 204 Cal.Rptr. 435, 682 P.2d 1100.) 4) As the proximate result of the acts alleged ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY OF SAN FRANCISCO and CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY conduct was intentional and malicious and done for the purpose of causing plaintiff to suffer humiliation, mental anguish, and emotional and physical distress. Defendant ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY OF SAN FRANCISCO and CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY conduct in confirming and ratifying that conduct ‘was done with knowledge that plaintiff's emotional and physical distress would thereby increase, and was done with a wanton and reckless disregard of the consequences to plaintiff . 5 ) On or about September 7 2017 plaintiff Charles Pitts delivered a claim to defendants CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY through its comptroller / law division for the losses, and damages suffered and incurred by him by reason of the above- described occurrences, all in compliance with the requirements of Section 905 of the Government Code.
