Beach v. Arblaster

Holding

The court held that summary judgment for the defendant was proper because the plaintiff's action for fraud, predicated on a decedent's alleged promise of marriage and support, was barred by the statute of frauds (Civil Code § 1624(6)) and the statute of limitations (Code of Civil Procedure § 339(1)), and further, that the plaintiff failed to present sufficient evidence to create a triable issue of fact regarding her detrimental reliance.
