Is a plaintiff's judgment unreasonably impaired when he is required to risk his life to invoke that right?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Johnson v. Superior Court of State, B266421 (Cal. App. 2017):

judgment is unreasonably impaired when he is required to risk his life to invoke that right. Since the state has no interest in preserving erroneous judgments, it has no interest in foreclosing appeals therefrom by imposing unreasonable conditions on the right to appeal.' " (People v. Hanson (2000) 23 Cal.4th 355, 365.)
