California Court of Appeal

Where defendant was found to have underpaid documentary transfer taxes on two electric power generating plants, judgment and award to plaintiff is affirmed where plaintiff cannot for the first time on appeal argue that as a matter of law it is entitled to judgment in an amount based on the total consideration paid for the plants, or that damages are inadequate.
