Hinson v. Delis , 26 Cal.App.3d 62, 102 Cal.Rptr. 661, 666 (Ct. App. 1972), disapproved of on other grounds by Knight v. Hallsthammar , 29 Cal.3d 46, 171 Cal.Rptr. 707, 623 P.2d 268, 273 n.7 (1981) (emphasis added). The Supreme Court of California sanctioned Hinson 'sin custodia legis procedure, calling it "a fair means of protection of landlords from potential abuses of the proposed warranty of habitability defense." Green v. Superior Court , 10 Cal.3d 616, 111 Cal.Rptr. 704, 517 P.2d 1168, 1182 (1974). Moreover, this "sound procedural safeguard[ ] suffice[s] to protect the landlord's economic interests without depriving the tenant of a meaningful opportunity to raise the breach of warranty issue." Id. Notably, the court of appeals in King cited to both Javins and Hinson in support of an in custodia legis procedure. King , 495 S.W.2d at 77.
