When will the court grant a plaintiff leave to amend their complaint?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Plikaytis v. Fairmount, L.P., D066876 (Cal. App. 2015):

"When a plaintiff elects not to amend after the court sustains a demurrer with leave to amend, we assume the complaint states as strong a case as possible, and we will affirm the judgment if the unamended complaint is objectionable on any ground raised by the demurrer." (Gutkin v. University of Southern California (2002) 101 Cal.App.4th 967, 981.)
