California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Webb v. City of Riverside, 23 Cal.App.5th 244, 232 Cal.Rptr.3d 761 (Cal. App. 2018):
10 Webb does not argue, and so we do not address, whether equitable tolling would be appropriate on the basis of the alleged charge being hidden and so undiscoverable within the statute of limitations. (See Utility Cost Management v. Indian Wells Valley Water District (2001) 26 Cal.4th 1185, 1198, 114 Cal.Rptr.2d 459, 36 P.3d 2 (Indian Wells ).)
