What is the effect of a demurrer in a child abuse case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Krikorian v. Barry, 196 Cal.App.3d 1211, 242 Cal.Rptr. 312 (Cal. App. 1987):

In response to appellant's cross-complaint, respondent demurred to the fourth and fifth causes of action on the ground that respondent's conduct was absolutely privileged under the Child Abuse Reporting Act (Pen.Code, 11165 et seq.). Under authority of Storch v. Silverman (1986) 186 Cal.App.3d 671, 231 Cal.Rptr. 27, the trial court granted the demurrer without leave to amend. This appeal followed.
