California Court of Appeal

In plaintiff's suit seeking enforcement of the "absolute" rights of a director to inspect corporate books, trial court's judgment sustaining defendants' demurrers without leave to amend is affirmed as the trial court did not abuse its discretion by determining that plaintiff, as a former director, had no statutory standing as a director to pursue his demands for inspection of the company records, and he had not presented any sufficient basis to create any exceptions to the rule.
