Can an employee sue the California Board of Representatives for failing to provide written notice of an action in breach of the Brown Act?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Bollinger v. San Diego Civil Service Com., 71 Cal.App.4th 568, 84 Cal.Rptr.2d 27 (Cal. App. 1999):
3 Ordinarily, acts of a legislative body in violation of the Brown Act are not invalid, they merely subject the member of the governing body to criminal penalties. (Griswold v. Mt. Diablo Unified Sch. Dist. (1976) 63 Cal.App.3d 648, 657-658, 134 Cal.Rptr. 3; 54959.) Section 54957 thus affords an employee wrongfully deprived of written notice a valuable remedy.
