No lawsuit may be brought against the city on any cause of action for which a claim must be filed under this chapter until the claim has been filed with the city clerk as required by this chapter and has been acted upon by the city or has been deemed to have been rejected. Any action brought against the city on such a claim shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 945.6 and 946 of the Government Code. Only the person who filed the claim may bring such a lawsuit, and if another person should do so, judgment shall not be rendered for the plaintiff. (Ord. 2169 NCS §1 (part), 2003.)
