Description
Plaintiff, a nonprofit corporation operating a home for elderly people on a "life care contract" basis, brought this action to recover taxes paid under protest for the tax year 1946-1947. It claimed that it was a charitable organization devoting its property exclusively to charitable purposes and so entitled to the benefit of the recently adopted welfare exemption. (Cal. Const., art. XIII, § 1c; Rev. & Tax. Code, § 214.) With certain exceptions -- a parcel of vacant land, some acreage leased for commercial purposes, and a small item of solvent credits -- the trial court adjudicated the exemption claim in plaintiff's favor and entered judgment accordingly for a tax refund. From such judgment defendant county has appealed, contending that the record does not sustain the conclusion that plaintiff was functioning as a charitable institution within the meaning of the welfare tax exemption law. Upon the undisputed facts, we have concluded that defendant's contention cannot be sustained.
