O.C. pension case to move to L.A.
A Superior Court judge issued a final written ruling Monday ordering Orange County’s legal case seeking to roll back deputies’ pensions to be handled in the Los Angeles County courts.
Judge Thierry P. Colaw agreed with an argument by Orange County’s public employee retirement board that the case could not be tried in Orange County because it involved a dispute between two public agencies within the county, and concurred that Los Angeles would be a “neutral county” close enough to be convenient for all parties in the case.
He allowed a one-week postponement of his order to give the parties time to negotiate if they want to seek an alternative venue.
