Does a plaintiff have to make additional allegations in order to bring an action?

However, even assuming the majority's argument is correct, the action would not be barred merely because additional allegations are required to state a viable claim. If there is a reasonable possibility a defect in the complaint can be cured by amendment, the plaintiff should be given the opportunity to amend. (Minsky v. City of Los Angeles (1974) 11 Cal.3d 113, 118, 113 Cal.Rptr. 102, 520 P.2d 726; Call v. Kezirian (1982) 135 Cal.App.3d 189, 195, 185 Cal.Rptr. 103.)
