What is the test for estopped from asserting the defense that a claim was not filed within the statutory time?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Williams v. San Diego Unified School Dist., 143 Cal.App.2d 564, 299 P.2d 916 (Cal. App. 1956):

The finding that defendant was not estopped from asserting the defense that the claim was not filed within the statutory time is equally supported by the evidence. There was no sufficient showing made that by any conduct on the part of the defendant was plaintiff or his mother deceived by any advice given by it or its agent, or any wrong conduct such as was related in Farrell v. County of Placer, 23 Cal.2d 624, 145 P.2d 570, 153 A.L.R. 323, relied upon by plaintiff.
