I concur, but cannot do so without recommending to the Legislature that it redraft Civil Code section 1950.5 The majority's observation that this statute is "no model of clarity" is a gross understatement. As Justice Gilbert said in Granberry
v. Islay Investments (1984) 161 Cal.App.3d 382 [207 Cal.Rptr. 652], this statute "teeter[s] on the brink of unintelligibility." The only reason it still teeters is because of judicial efforts to keep it alive, and these efforts have been considerable.
