5502
. A reassessment shall be ordered under any one of the
following circumstances:
(a) Whenever the owner or holder of any assessments, or bonds
issued under this division to represent or be secured by assessments,
or the person who would own or hold any such assessment or bonds if
they were issued, requests the legislative body to order a
reassessment. In such event if the legislative body is of the opinion
that the assessments or bonds in question are not enforceable, it
shall order the making and issuing of a reassessment covering only
the assessments owned or held by the petitioner, or the assessments
represented or secured by the bonds owned or held by such petitioner,
or which would be owned or held by petitioner if issued.
(b) Whenever any court of competent jurisdiction in any action to
foreclose the lien of any assessment or to enforce the obligation of
any bond issued to represent or be secured by any assessments issued
under this division for any reason holds such lien unenforceable,
then it shall in and by its decree direct the making of a
reassessment to cover the assessments involved in such action.
(c) Whenever any court of competent jurisdiction in any action to
set aside the lien of any assessment or of any bond representing any
assessment or in any action to quiet title against the lien of any
such assessment, or bond, or in any action to enjoin the making,
filing, confirmation or issuance of any assessment or bond to pay for
the cost and expenses of any work done under this division, in its
judgment decrees such assessments or bonds to be void or
unenforceable, or enjoins the making, filing or issuance or
confirmation of any such assessment or bond, then it shall in and by
its decree direct the making of a reassessment to cover the
assessments involved in such action.
(d) Whenever any contractor or assignee of a contractor has done
or performed any work pursuant to proceedings had and taken in
attempted compliance with this division, and whenever prior to the
issuance of any assessment, any court of competent jurisdiction in
any action to invalidate the contract or any of such proceedings for
any reason declares the contract or other proceedings to be invalid,
then such court shall in and by its decree direct the making of a
reassessment for the reasonable value of the work actually done and
performed in good faith by the contractor, or such portion thereof as
was of a kind that could lawfully have been ordered under the
provisions of this division.
