California Court of Appeal

In plaintiffs' suit for personal injury and loss of consortium against defendant and several other defendants, claiming that the husband (now deceased) suffered injury from exposure to asbestos and asbestos-containing products, trial court's order sustaining, without leave to amend, defendant's demurrer to the complaint is affirmed as Delaware law controls whether defendant is amenable to suit following dissolution and, as this suit was filed more than three years after defendant's dissolution, the trial court correctly sustained defendant's demurrer to the complaint.
