Supreme Court Reverses Hamer vs Ellis Demurrers
The Supreme Court reversed the local court ruling in Hamer versus Ellis. It directed the superior court to sustain Preston's special demurrer for uncertainty to the first cause of action and to sustain the demurrer to the second cause of action with leave for Gibson to amend his second amended complaint. The case arose after Ellis stables burned, pressuring Mrs Ellis to rebuild or pay $2700 damages for lease termination. Preston had previously won on demurrer and the judgment favored Preston. Gibson now has a chance to amend and bring the case to trial if the amended complaint states a valid cause of action.
