Botsford v. Haskins & Sells

Opinion

ELKINGTON, J. —

Plaintiffs Lawrence Investment Corporation and Paicines Properties Corporation, and Edward P. Botsford, as trustee, commenced an action for damages against defendant Haskins and Sells on a purported cause of action previously owned by the corporations. The superior court entered summary judgment in favor of the defendant, from which judgment the several plaintiffs have appealed.

We have concluded that the appeal of plaintiff Botsford, as trustee, has merit and that those of the corporate plaintiffs do not. We proceed to state our reasons.

There was no substantial dispute…
