What is the scope of discretion of the courts in deciding whether to grant discretion to a city councilor in a discretionary action?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Robert L., In re, 21 Cal.App.4th 1057, 24 Cal.Rptr.2d 654 (Cal. App. 1993):
"The legal principles that govern the subject of discretionary action vary greatly with context. [Citation] They are derived from the common law or statutes under which discretion is conferred." (City of Sacramento v. Drew (1989) 207 Cal.App.3d 1287, 1298, 255 Cal.Rptr. 704.) The scope of discretion lies in the particular law to be applied. (Id. at p. 1297, 255 Cal.Rptr. 704.)
