Nowell v. Behrends
Nowell v. Behrends
Opinion of the Court
This matter arises on the motion of plaintiff to file a third amended complaint, having heretofore dismissed as to certain defendants.* To this motion
An examination of the tendered pleading and a comparison with the other pleadings filed in the case makes it clear that the third amended complaint, which plaintiff now desires to file, states a cause of action quite different from that set up in the complaint heretofore filed, and, under section 92 of the Code of Civil Procedure, an amendment to a pleading which substantially changes the cause of action will not be allowed. The motion should be denied. Foste v. Standard Life & Accident Insurance Company, 26 Or. 449, 38 Pac. 617; Baldock v. Atwood, 21 Or. 73, 26 Pac. 1058; Stevenson v. Mudgett, 10 N. H. 338, 34 Am.
