Scilacci v. PlacerCountyBd. of Supervisors
Court find no abuse of discretion. Although the evidence as to the Scilacciss pecuniary interest in pursuing the lawsuit was conflicting, there was substantial evidence from which the trial court could determine the costs of litigation were not out of proportion to the Scilacciss individual stake. The Scilaccis had purchased neighboring property at below market value before the lawsuit commenced and had taken actions that indicated an interest in developing that property and therefore an interest in challenging the proposed project.
