Section § 33400

Explanation

This law gives an obligee, who is someone owed a duty, the power to ensure that the authority (such as a government agency or organization) follows through on its promises in a contract. If the authority doesn't meet its obligations, the obligee can take legal action to force them to do so. They can also prevent the authority from doing anything unlawful that violates their rights under the contract.

In addition to all other rights conferred on an obligee and subject only to any contractual restrictions binding upon him, an obligee may:
(a)CA Streets And Highways Code § 33400(a) By mandamus, suit, action, or proceeding at law or in equity, compel the authority and its members, officers, agents or employees to perform every term, provision, and covenant contained in any contract of the authority with or for the benefit of the obligee, to carry out all covenants and agreements of the authority, and to fulfill all duties imposed upon the authority by this part.
(b)CA Streets And Highways Code § 33400(b) By suit, action, or proceeding in equity, enjoin any acts or things which are unlawful and in violation of any of the rights of the obligee.
