Alayarian Company, a California Corporation vs. VMA Harbor Place Holding Company, LLC

Here, Plaintiffs have sufficiently pled these vicarious liable theories, that if proven, could hold each of the defendants responsible for each other’s actions under the Rutherford standard.

For this reason, the demurrer to the fifth and sixth causes of action is OVERRULED.

First Cause of Action for Breach of Contract, Second Cause of Action for Breach of Express Warranty, Third Cause of Action for Breach of Implied Warranty, and Fourth Cause of Action for Strict Liability

Moving Defendant argues that because there was no enforceable agreement between Plaintiffs and Bumble 110, each of these causes of action fail. As the court explains above, Plaintiffs have sufficiently alleged mere/conduit, single business enterprise, successor, and/or alter ego theories to hold Bumble 110 liable for agreements and liabilities of Bumble 106. For this reason, the demurrer to the first through fourth causes of action are OVERRULED.
