Castelanelli v. Becker
Appellants are the owners of real property in Shelter Cove, Humboldt County. Via a single cause of action in a first amended complaint, they sued respondent Becker, a Eureka attorney who represented the owner of property bordering on theirs, for Slander on Title. That cause of action was based on Beckers action, as attorney for his clients, in filing a lis pendens on appellants property which action, they alleged, caused them to lose a sale of that property. The trial court sustained Beckers demurrer to that cause of action without leave to amend on the basis, inter alia, that Becker owed appellants no duty. Court reverse.
