The following excerpt is from Tuolumne Air Service, Inc. v. Turlock Irrigation Dist., 150 Cal.Rptr. 809, 87 Cal.App.3d 248 (Cal. App. 1978):
While the procedure for granting relief from the claim statutes is remedial in nature and must be liberally construed in favor of the claimant (Tammen v. County of San Diego (1967) 66 Cal.2d 468, 480, 58 Cal.Rptr. 249, 426 P.2d 753), that liberality does not extend to the statute of limitations (see Chase v. State of California (1977) 67 Cal.App.3d 808, 812, 136 Cal.Rptr. 833). Subdivision (f) provides a maximum period of 30 days after the granting of judicial relief within which the claimant may commence an action. Thus, the complaint is barred by the statute of limitations.
