Grimes v. Carter
California Court of Appeal
Decided April 25, 1966No. Civ. 578PublishedCited by 29 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtConley, P. J.
The question to be determined on this appeal is whether a plaintiff may escape the necessity of filing the undertaking required by section 830 of the Code of Civil Procedure in an action based on the classical elements of slander by claiming that the damages sought arise wholly from an invasion of plaintiff’s privacy or because of her consequent emotional distress. The judgment of dismissal was preceded by an order sustaining a general demurrer to the amended complaint without leave to amend and granting a motion to dismiss because of a failure to post the required bond.
