A lawyer fired from a government job soon after moving from Orange County to Santa Clara County was barred from suing his new employer for inducing him to relocate under false pretenses. Ordinarily, it’s illegal in California to misrepresent employment terms to persuade someone to move to take a job in a different locality. In this case, the employee claimed his supervisors lied by telling him his position was permanent instead of provisional. But the court threw out his claim because public entities are immune from lawsuits for making misrepresentations to employees.
