Babcock v. Community Redevelopment Agency

VALLÉES, J.

I concur in the judgment. I am not in accord with the statement in the opinion that “a court is not empowered to substitute its determination for the determination *52of the agency or the legislative body in the absence of abuse of discretion, fraud, collusion, or bad faith on the part of the agency or the legislative body.” Section 1094.5 of the Code of Civil Procedure makes it clear that the validity of any final administrative order or decision may be inquired into in a proceeding for a writ of mandate. (See Redevelopment Agency v. Hayes, 122 Cal.App.2d 777, 812 [226 P.2d 105].)…
