Auburn Opera House & Pavilion Ass'n v. Hill
California Supreme Court · Decided March 9, 1893
3 Cal. Unrep. 839; 32 P. 587; 1893 Cal. LEXIS 1019

Auburn Opera House & Pavilion Ass'n v. Hill

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

1. Under defendant’s contract of subscription for the stocks of plaintiff, as contained in the prospectus signed by defendant, and upon the facts alleged in the complaint as to plaintiff’s calls or demands for the amount agreed to be paid for such subscribed stock, the plaintiff is entitled to maintain this action: Marysville Electric Light Co. v. Johnson, 93 Cal. 546, 27 Am. St. Rep. 215, 29 Pac. 126; California Southern Hotel Co. v. Callender, 94 Cal. 120, 28 Am. St. Rep. 99, 29 Pac. 859.

2. It was not a condition precedent to defendant’s liability that $20,000 of plaintiff’s stock should be first subscribed for; but, were it otherwise, the defendant has waived the objection which he now makes upon this ground: Hotel Co. v. Callender, supra. Indeed, the acts of defendant constituting such waiver are stronger than those held to have that effect in the case cited. Judgment and order reversed.
