P1528 Although the California Public Records Act (Government Code sections 6250 et seq.) provides the exclusive remedy for litigating a dispute about whether a particular public record must be disclosed to the person who requested it, a challenge to a public entity's general refusal to disclose a particular record or class of records may be brought outside the act under Code of Civil Procedure section 526a, which permits any taxpayer to sue to restrain illegal expenditure by a local government.CitationCOUNTY OF SANTA CLARA v SUPERIOR COURT (Public Records) 171 CA4 119 [See: GovC 6250 etseq; CCP 526a; Wilder v Superior Court 66 CA4 77, T/AT 9/98; Filarsky v Superior Court 28 C4 419, P/AT 9/02]
