Council Member Barred From Considering Own Appeal In Woody’s Group, Inc. v. City of Newport Beach, the Fourth District Court of Appeal held that the City Council of Newport Beach “violated two basic principles of fairness: you can’t be a judge in your own case, and you can’t change the rules in the middle of the game.” Thus, a council member who appealed a planning commission decision to the city council could not participate in the appeal; nor could the city council consider the appeal at all when the council member had failed to pay the filing fee or otherwise follow the procedures in the municipal code. Woody’s Group v. City of Newport Beach, No. G050155 (4th Dist., Jan. 29, 2015).
