California HOAs: When the Business Judgment Rule Does Not Apply


Listen Later

Bad HOA boards in California love to cite the Business Judgment Rule as if it ends the conversation. It doesn’t. In California, the Business Judgment Rule does not protect boards that act in bad faith, ignore their duties, or refuse to act at all. 

🎯 What You’ll Learn in This 1-Minute Tip:

✅ When directors in California HOAs lose the protections afforded by the Business Judgment Rule.

✅ The types of conduct that strip directors of legal protection. 

This is Tip 2 of a 3-part 1-Minute Attorney Tip series on the Business Judgment Rule. In this segment, attorney Michael Kushner explains where the presumption of reasonableness breaks down and why HOA boards cannot hide behind the presumption of reasonableness granted to them under the BJR when they ignore their duties or act outside the law.
