Allen v. American Land Research

Dore, J. —

Petitioners, plaintiffs below, seek reinstatement of the trial court's judgment. For the reasons stated below, we reverse the Court of Appeals and reinstate the trial court's judgment.

At all times pertinent to this suit, Mr. and Mrs. Myers, Mr. and Mrs. Jacoby and the corporations American Land Research and Federated Land Research were California residents. They, along with others, were defendants, but we distinguish them in this opinion by designating them "California defendants". All California defendants but Mr. and Mrs. Jacoby are respondents before this court.
