Handyman Connection of Sacramento, Inc. v. Sands
Opinion
Opinion
Sims, J.
In this case, we construe various provisions of the Contractors’ State License Law related to a contractor’s solicitation and obtaining of a contract to perform work in someone’s home.
In a disciplinary proceeding against plaintiff Handyman Connection of Sacramento, Inc. (Handyman) brought by the Contractors’ State License Board (the Board), an administrative law judge (ALJ) found that Handyman had committed four violations of the Contractors’ State License Law. (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 7000 et seq. (the License Law).) The Board adopted the ALJ’s proposed decision and imposed a penalty of $350.
Handyman filed a petition for peremptory writ of administrative mandamus against defendant Steven P. Sands, Registrar of Contractors, in Sacramento County Superior Court, seeking to vacate the Board’s decision. The trial court denied the petition. Handyman appeals from the ensuing judgment. We shall reverse one of four grounds of discipline found by the Board and otherwise affirm the judgment.
