Vaughan v. Hornaman

The opinion of the court was delivered by This is an appeal by Una O. Vaughan from the trial court's order sustaining in part appellees' demurrers to her second amended petition wherein she claims to state causes of action for damages, for breach of fiduciary relationship, inducing breach of fiduciary relationship, slander and for malicious prosecution of a civil action, all allegedly committed by appellees pursuant to a conspiracy. Demurrers were sustained on the basis that said petition did not state a cause of action on any ground except for the malicious prosecution of a civil action. By way of cross-appeal defendant appellees challenge the correctness of the trial court's order overruling the demurrers to the cause of action alleging malicious prosecution of a civil suit.
