0970 Even though a claimant complied with all statutory provisions relating to a petition for judicial relief from time limits for filing a claim against a public entity, the failure to serve notice and bring the matter to a hearing within a reasonable time violated the spirit of the statute and justified denial of the petition; excessive delay results in a presumption of prejudice, further justifying denial of the petition.CitationSANG HAN v CITY OF POMONA (Spirit of the Law) 37 CA4 552 [See: GovC 911. 945, 946.6; Viles v State 66 C2 24]
