California Court of Appeal

In case involving a choice-of-forum clause in a lease guaranty, orders sustaining demurrer based on lack of subject matter jurisdiction and denying defendants' motion for attorney's fees are reversed as, although the trial court could have elected to enforce the parties' forum selection clause, it erred in concluding that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction over the complaint.
