In a case that could eventually have significant implications for legal questions about the builder’s remedy, a Los Angeles judge has ruled that La Canada-Flintridge should not have claimed that its housing element was compliant even though the state had not approved it. The judge said if the plaintiff had been a developer with a project in front of the city –a public-interest law firm that’s an arm of the California Association of Realtors – it could have sought relief under the builder’s remedy.
