What are the findings of a referee's report on the "Sten rule"?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Trope v. Katz, 28 Cal.App.4th 1409, 34 Cal.Rptr.2d 219 (Cal. App. 1994):

2 The referee's report provided a thorough review of the applicable law with its recommendations. It also included alternative recommendations if the trial court were to disagree with the referee's reliance on City of Long Beach v. Sten, supra, 206 Cal. 473, 274 P. 968.

3 Neither side has appealed from the underlying judgments.
4 In the remainder of this decision, for brevity, City of Long Beach v. Sten will sometimes be referred to as either "Sten," the "Sten case" or the "Sten rule".
