Camsi Iv V. Hunter Technology Corp‪.‬

Hunter Technology Corporation (Hunter) manufactured printed circuit boards on a parcel of real property in Santa Clara County for a period of years ending in 1983. Title to the parcel passed to CAMSI IV, a California general partnership, in May 1985. In December 1988 CAMSI IV sued Hunter, and several other defendants, alleging in pertinent part that in its manufacturing operation Hunter had discharged harmful substances referred to by CAMSI IV as "volatile organic chemicals" (VOCs), including trichloroethene (TCE), into the parcel's soil and groundwater, that a government agency had ordered the VOCs be cleaned up, and that as a result of the agency's order CAMSI IV was secondarily liable for the cost of the cleanup and had lost a potential sale of part of the parcel. Hunter's general demurrers to CAMSI IV's second amended complaint were sustained without leave to amend. CAMSI IV appeals from the ensuing judgment for Hunter.
