Ambrose v. Alioto

CURTIS, J. -- This case has had a confused procedural history and various controversial points arising in connection with its ultimate determination have been under successive review by this court, as will hereinafter appear. The present appeal is from a judgment purportedly entered in accord with the most recent observations of this court in the matter. (Mather v. Mather, 22 Cal. 2d 713 [140 P.2d 808].) The facts are fully stated in the cited opinion and it is but necessary here to make a brief outline of the progressive stages of this prolonged litigation as there recited.
