Lindley v. Superior Court
California Supreme Court
Lindley v. Superior Court, 74 P. 765 (Cal. 1903)
141 Cal. 220; 1903 Cal. LEXIS 494
THE COURT.
Lindley v. Superior Court
Opinion of the Court
The petition in this case is for a writ prohibiting the superior court from proceeding to the trial of an action in which the petitioner is a defendant. If, as contended, the superior court is without jurisdiction, there is of course a remedy by appeal for any adverse judgment affecting petitioner, and it is not sufficient ground for interfering by prohibition that the trial will be expensive and troublesome.
The establishment of a rule allowing a resort to the writ of prohibition on that ground would involve too serious and too frequent interruption to the business of the court.
Writ denied. *Page 221
