California Supreme Court, 1872

Stilphen v. Ware

Stilphen v. Ware
California Supreme Court · Decided July 1, 1872
45 Cal. 110

Stilphen v. Ware

Opinion of the Court

By the Court:

It is conceded that irrespective of the judgment rendered against the corporation itself, the cause of action stated in the complaint is barred by limitation, and if this be so, it is clear that the judgment did not of itself operate to prolong the time in which an action might be brought against the defendants as stockholders of the corporation. (Davidson v. Rankin, 34 Cal. 503; Larrabee v. Baldwin, 35 Cal. 168; Young v. Rosenbaum, 39 Cal. 646.)

Judgment affirmed.
