Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion

The Court:

There was no demurrer to the complaint on the ground that there was a misjoinder of parties defendant, or that causes of action were improperly united. These objections to the complaint were, therefore, waived. The general demurrer ought not to have been sustained. The obligation of stockholders to pay their respective proportions of debts of the corporation, incurred while they are stockholders, is direct and primary (Constitution, Art. xi, § 3; C. C., § 322; M. H. C. & M. Co. v. Woodbury, 14 Cal. 266; Prince v. Lynch, 38 id. 528).

Judgment reversed arid cause remanded, with direction to the Court below to overrule the demurrer.
