What is the test for appeal against a summary adjudication as to the first cause of action?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Belio v. Panorama Optics, Inc., 33 Cal.App.4th 1096, 39 Cal.Rptr.2d 737 (Cal. App. 1995):

We conclude the appeal is proper because the trial court's order granting summary adjudication as to the first cause of action "effectively disposed of the case." (California Assn. of Psychology Providers v. Rank (1990) 51 Cal.3d 1, 9, 270 Cal.Rptr. 796, 793 P.2d 2.)
