JACKSON & TAYLOR VENTURES, LLC; ET AL Case Number: | | CGC25623290 | Case Title: | | CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO ET AL VS. JACKSON & TAYLOR VENTURES, LLC; ET AL | Court Date: | | 2026-04-16 09:30 AM | Calendar Matter: | | DEMURRER to Amended CROSS COMPLAINT | Rulings: | | On the Real Property/Housing Law and Motion calendar for April 16, 2026, line 3.

Cross-Defendant's Demurrer to Amended Cross-Complaint is sustained with leave to amend to assert a viable claim against 660 Peralta LLC for breach of contract, declaratory relief or indemnity. The operative cross-complaint fails to allege facts supporting a breach of written contract, declaratory relief re: obligations under the written contract or indemnity.

Implied-in-fact contract is not sufficiently stated, and if stated, would not support claims under the written contract with Han; agency theory is not supported by facts alleged in the complaint; alter ego theory is not supported by any authorities cited in opposition allowing for alter ego liability at this stage of the litigation. The Court makes no determination at this time if alter ego liability may be brought up under the procedural posture of the cases cited in opposition.

Han's misjoinder demurrer is moot in light of the above ruling. The Court notes that Han's demurrer is not supported by any citations to case authority, let alone authority involving similar facts. The demurrer, a response to the operative cross-complaint, is proper. =(501/CFH)
