Light Construction v. State of California
Defendant Contractors State License Board (the Board) appeals from a judgment granting in part a petition for writ of administrative mandamus (Code Civ. Proc., § 1094.5). The Board filed an administrative proceeding against plaintiff City Light Construction, which is owned solely by Faramarz Taghilou, for violation of Business and Professions Code section 7112. The Board found Taghilou violated section 7112 by failing to disclose a prior criminal conviction on his application for an addition to his general contractor’s license. It imposed a penalty of staying a license revocation and placing Taghilou on three years of probation. Plaintiff petitioned for a writ of administrative mandamus. The trial court agreed that plaintiff had violated section 7112 but vacated the penalty, concluding that the Board abused its discretion in imposing it.
