Owen v. Oviatt
Owen v. Oviatt
Opinion of the Court
The respondent brought an action against appellant in the third district court, for a dissolution of partnership, for an accounting and for an injunction restraining the sale or transfer of property alleged to have been bought with partnership money.
The complaint was demurred to, by appellant, upon the grounds:
1. That the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action,
2. That the complaint was “multifarious and improperly confounds together distinct causes of action not belonging to the same class,” and,
3. That the complaint was ambiguous, unintelligible and uncertain.
The demurrer was overruled. The complaint alleges in general terms, that a business venture, a partnership, was entered into between appellant and respondent, for quarrying and selling limestone; the leasing by them of a stone (juary for that business; the carrying on of said business of quarrying and selling limestone until the tenth of Octo
The second and third grounds of demurrer are not sufficiently specific. The demurrer should show wherein or in what respect the complaint is ambiguous, unintelligible or uncertain, and in what respect it is multifarious and improperly confounds together distinct causes of action.
We see no error in the action of the court below.
Let the judgment be affirmed with costs.
