Gaffey v. Mann
California Court of Appeal
APPEAL from an order of the Superior Court of Santa Cruz County taxing a cost-bill. Lucas F. Smith, Judge. The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.
1Opinion of the CourtHall, J.
Appeal by defendant from an order of the court striking out all the items of defendant’s cost-bill.
Respondent’s objection that this court has no jurisdiction of the appeal for the reason that the entire amount of the costs claimed did not amount to $300 is not well taken. The amount claimed in the complaint was $50,000, which brings the case within the jurisdiction of the supreme court. See Harron, v. Harron, 123 Cal. 508, [56 Pac. 334], which overrules earlier cases to the effect that the amount of the cost-bill governs the question of jurisdiction upon an appeal from an order taxing costs.
