California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 10 — Actions in Particular Cases, Chapter 9 — Validating Proceedings, Section 867.5
(a) In the event that an action is brought by a public agency pursuant to this chapter, and that public agency later dismisses the action after any party has answered, then, notwithstanding Section 863, the party that answered may file an action pursuant to this chapter within 30 days after the public agency’s dismissal was filed by the court.
(b) Subdivision (a) is not applicable to a case in which a public agency has by formal act rescinded the action on the matter subject to validation.
Notes
Allows a party that answered a public agency’s validation action to file its own action within 30 days after the court files the agency’s later dismissal. This right does not apply when the public agency has, by formal act, rescinded the action on the matter that was subject to validation.
