California Court of Appeal

In dispute over proposed reality television program, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed over claims that: 1) the trial court failed to adhere to directions of a writ of mandate issued by the appeals court; 2) issues of material fact existed that should have been submitted to a trier of fact; and 3) one defendant's demurrer was improperly granted because he was a top network executive, and thus may be held personally liable for the cause of action for breach of confidence.
