P1220 Claims for fraud and breach of guaranty are regularly heard by California courts, so a demurrer based on the argument that the court lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter should not have been granted; if the claims arose under a contract with a forum selection clause that specified another state, the appropriate remedy would be dismissal or stay under the doctrine of forum non conveniens, which can be raised by motion, but not by demurrer.CitationMILLER-LEIGH v HENSON (Subject Matter) 152 CA4 1143 [See: CCP 430.10, 410.30; Guardianship of Ariana K 120 CA4 690]
