Crash course: Due Process

Flip②▶TURN OFF THE 'SILENCE' OF THIS CLIP
Rarely does the topic of Due Process come up in matters about common interest developments (aka HOAs) because civil laws, not criminal laws, govern the affairs of these communities, but "due process" does have application in civil matters.  So, the topic may be worthy of a crash course.



Flip②▶Find♥Worth on Flipboard ▶#Due Process▶Due process is the legal requirement that the state must respect all legal rights that are owed to a person. Due process balances the power of law of the land and protects the individual person from it. ▶In the VIEDO: Discussion of due process, a look at the 5th and 6th amendments and how they ensure a fair trial. We’ll talk about some stuff you tend to hear a lot on TV, like your right to an attorney and a jury of your peers and also terms like “double jeopardy” and “pleading the fifth”. Now, this stuff can get pretty complicated, which is where lawyers come in handy, but it’s important to know your liberties to keep the police and other judicial officers in check. Of course, due process is a matter of criminal jurisprudence, not civil law. ▶ MORE | AUDIO

The CA DSA Helps Ensure Open Governance, Yes or No?

Image
🏛️ The purpose of the Davis–Stirling Act in ensuring open governance in California homeowners associations (HOAs) is rooted in the principles of transparency, accountability, and owner participation . The law mandates open operations for HOA boards because these boards function like local governments—making rules, levying fees, and enforcing penalties that affect property owners' rights and finances. ⚖️ Key Purposes for Open Governance under the Davis–Stirling Act: 1. Transparency of Board Actions HOAs must hold meetings in a way that homeowners can observe, attend, and participate . Open Meeting Act (Civil Code §4900–4955): Requires that board meetings (with few exceptions) be noticed and held in public. Prevents decisions being made behind closed doors unless legally permitted (e.g., legal issues, personnel matters). 2. Homeowner Access to Information Homeowners have the right to: Receive advance notice of meetings and agendas (Civil Code §4920). Revie...

Caveats about HOA CC&Rs

Image
Anyone who lives or has lived in a common interest development (aka homeowners association or HOA) has certain cognizance of the covenants, rules, and conditions (CC&Rs) of those "private government" communities.  Virtually every conflict that can and will arise in these locations is the result of CC&Rs that were initially drafted by the community developer and then perhaps altered or amended by the HOA attorneys.  Sometimes those changes need enabling legislation at the state level, but that is a whole different matter.  If the HOA lobby is not 100% behind those changes, the local HOA homeowner has little chance of effecting the change.

Of course, that law is the Davis-Stirling Act (DSL), extant since 1985. Did you know?  The prime-position author of that law, the notable former and recalled Gov. Gray Davis actually did not write the law, but relied upon a San Diego law professor for the content with cooperation from fellow attorney and former CA Assemblyman Lawrence Stirling. The summary story is shared in the archive above. Actually, the origin and authorship standings for the Davis-Stirling Act is not really that unusual in California.  In order to get bil...
