Asberry v. Los Angeles Community College District
Sharon Foreman Asberry (Plaintiff) sued Los Angeles Community College District (District) and Los Angeles Southwest College (College) (collectively, Defendants) for promissory estoppel relating to a purported breach of a collective bargaining agreement with Plaintiff’s union. Defendants moved for judgment on the pleadings, arguing that under the Government Claims Act (Gov. Code, § 810 et seq. ) they have immunity from Plaintiff’s claim. The trial court granted Defendants’ motion without leave to amend.
On appeal, Plaintiff argues that the trial court erred, because Defendants do not have immunity from claims based “on contract” principles (§ 814), such as her claim for promissory estoppel. We agree and, accordingly, reverse the judgment.
