4. CASE # CASE NAME HEARING NAME STEINER VS THE PALMS DEMURRER ON COMPLAINT OF CVPS2600913 HOMEOWNERS STEPHEN ANTHONY STEINER BY ASSOCIATION RHONA KAUFFMAN Tentative Ruling: A general demurrer lies where the pleading does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. (CCP § 430.10(e).) In evaluating a demurrer, the court gives the pleading a reasonable interpretation by reading it as a whole and all of its parts in their context. (Moore v. Regents of University of California (1990) 51 Cal.3d 120, 125.) The court assumes the truth of all material facts which have been properly pleaded, of facts which may be inferred from those expressly pleaded, and of any material facts of which judicial notice has been requested and may be taken. (Crowley v. Katleman (1994) 8 Cal.4th 666, 67.) However, a demurrer does not admit contentions, deductions or conclusions of fact or law. (Daar v. Yellow Cab Company (1967) 67 Cal.2d 695, 713.) If the complaint fails to state a cause of action, the court must grant the plaintiff leave to amend if there is a reasonable possibility that the defect can be cured by amendment. (Blank v. Kirwan (1985) 39 Cal.3d 311, 318.) Where the dates alleged in the complaint show the cause of action is barred by the statute of limitations, a general demurrer lies. (Saliter v. Pierce Bros. Mortuaries (1978) 81 Cal.App.3d 292, 300.)
