Date Filed: August 17, 2021 Case Number: D076318 Court: California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division One The Court holds that a director of a California nonprofit public-benefit corporation must maintain a continuous fiduciary relationship with the corporation to have standing to bring a derivative action on its behalf; once the director’s term ends and she is not re-elected, she loses that standing. Accordingly, the judgments dismissing Turner’s claims as a former director are affirmed, but the courts are instructed to allow a limited amendment to substitute a proper plaintiff (or consider Attorney-General relator status).
