California Court of Appeal

In an action for various torts and breach of contract involving a property dispute, trial court judgment sustaining defendant's demurrers is affirmed where: 1) plaintiffs lack standing to bring the claims as they did not have ownership interest in the property, and the claims are not assignable to the plaintiffs; and 2) the trial court properly awarded attorney's fees and costs to defendants for defense against the complaints in which the plaintiffs were named.
