Audrey Tam (Of Counsel-San Francisco, CA) and Peter Catalanotti (Partner-San Francisco, CA) had a demurrer sustained without leave to amend in a contested commercial real estate case. The plaintiff originally declared the named buyer as a plaintiff but later amended to include only the assignees as plaintiffs. On behalf of our commercial real estate broker client, Audrey and Peter filed a demurrer arguing that the assignees lacked standing to bring the claims. Notwithstanding plaintiffs’ arguments in opposition, the court sustained the demurrer, finding that the assignees themselves could not amend their allegations to alleviate their lack of standing and sustained the demurrer without leave to amend. Damages were estimated well into the hundreds of thousands.
