Los Angeles Unified School District v. County of Los Angeles, No. B213703

In plaintiff-school district's petition to compel the county and the city and others to increase its allocation of community redevelopment project mitigation payments under Health and Safety Code section 33607.5, judgment in favor of the defendants is reversed and remanded where, as a matter of law, the school district's pass-through payments have been based on erroneous calculation of its percentage share of property taxes, and LAUSD's right to reimbursement has yet to be litigated.
