County Immune.

January 4, 2016 by admin

A high school student took a swing on a rope swing attached to a tree in a county park. The rope broke and the boy was seriously injured when he hit debris below, which debris included cut-down tree limbs and brush left by county maintenance workers. Afterward, an expert opined the rope was damaged from exposure to the sun for over three months. The injured boy sued the county for negligence and dangerous condition of public property. The trial court denied the county’s motion for summary judgment, and the county petitioned for extraordinary relief. The Court of Appeal issued a peremptory writ of mandate, ordering the trial judge to grant the motion for summary judgment because the county is immune from liability pursuant to Government Code section 831.7. (County of San Diego v. Sup. Ct. (Ben Casteen) (Cal. App. Fourth Dist., Div. 1; November 20, 2015) 242 Cal.App.4th 460.)
