2011 Appeals Decision - People (Napa) v. Daugherty

This case is an example of a foundational defense (see Defect # 10 - B on the Home page).

This is the first published Appellate Division decision, anywhere in California, regarding the legality of a cost-neutral contract.

  The general issue of which decisions get published, and which don't, is under study.  See
nonpublication.com for more information.

Article (Napa Register, 8-18-11)
Article:  Judge Orders 500 Cases Dismissed (Napa Register, 10-8-11)
In 2014 Daugherty was cited in some cases in Florida:
May 2014 Order in Adams Case (Consolidated)
June 2014 Order in Hewson Case
July 2014 Motion in Reed Case

This federal case Todd v. City of Auburn http://www.leagle.com/decision/In%20FCO%2020110331126 which was mentioned in one of the briefs linked above, says that cost neutrality found in some cities in the State of Washington is OK because it altered the timing of the payment but did not limit the amount.  Keep in mind it says that it's not for publication and is not precedent.
