p1596 Former employee's demurrer to employer's breach of contract action was properly sustained because the cause of action was logically related to the former employee's cross-complaint for wrongful termination in a prior cause of action, but the trial court should not have denied leave to amend because the complaint could have been amended to allege that the employer's claim arose after it answered the wrongful termination cross-complaint.CitationALIGN TECHNOLOGY, INC. v TRAN (Compulsory Cross-Complaint) 179 CA4 949 [See CCP 426.30; FRCP 13(a); Currie Medical Specialties, Inc. v Bowen, 136 CA3 774; Baker v Gold Seal Liquors, Inc., 417 U.S. 467; Pochiro v Prudential Ins.
