*37Barela v. Superior Court (1981) 30 Cal.3d 244, 178 Cal.Rptr. 618, 636 P.2d 582 ( Barela ) was the first case to come before the court under section 1942.5, as so amended. The tenant in Barela faced eviction proceedings after reporting a landlord's sexual molestation of her daughter to the police. The trial court ruled that the eviction was not barred by section 1942.5 or by the standards of S.P. Growers . Drawing upon Edwards as a bellwether-as Schweiger did ( Schweiger , supra , 3 Cal.3d at p. 512, 90 Cal.Rptr. 729, 476 P.2d 97 ), and as S.P. Growers did ( S.P. Growers , supra , 17 Cal.3d at p. 725, 131 Cal.Rptr. 761, 552 P.2d 721 )-the court granted writ relief.
