Powell v. Tagami (Cal. Ct. App. - Sept. 5, 2018)

Today brings us a rare amendment-to-an-amendment.  Because the original amendment contained a mistake.

Oopsies.

Important to get it right.  Even when it's as minor as saying (as here) that you meant to delete the third sentence, not the second sentence.

Let's hope this finally puts the matter to rest.  An amendment to an amendment to an amendment is par for the course in a legislature, but for the judiciary, is a place we rarely want to go.
