Bay Shore Homes, Inc. v. San Diego Trust & Sav. Bank

Holding

The court held that the superior court, exercising its general civil jurisdiction, possessed the authority to adjudicate a claim for damages against a defaulting purchaser in a probate sale, even after the probate court had set the sale aside pursuant to Probate Code section 788, and that a real estate broker, by concealing from his principal material information regarding the purchaser’s financial ability to perform, forfeited any right to a commission.
