In a breach of contract action, defendant corporation sought review of a decision by the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco (California), which denied its motion for change of place of trial.

Overview:
The complaint contained two counts, the first for the recovery of damages on account of loss of prospective profits, and the second for the recovery of expenditures alleged to have been made by plaintiff corporation in connection with the contract. Defendant contended that the contract was made in Los Angeles, but the trial court found that it was made in San Francisco. The court held that the trial court reached the proper conclusion because a letter of acceptance was mailed in San Francisco.

Outcome

The court affirmed the trial court's judgment.
