Chapin v. Gritton

In Chapin v. Gritton (1960) 178 Cal. App. 2d 551, plaintiff moved for involuntary dissolution of a corporation and alleged that the statutory prerequisites for adjudication of such action were met. Further, the parties stipulated before trial that all issues with respect to dissolution of the corporation were waived. The court held that the stipulation was not an unlawful conferral of jurisdiction, but merely evidenced the parties' agreement on matters susceptible of proof. Thus, plaintiff could not on appeal challenge the jurisdiction of the court to grant the relief he had requested in order to pursue a different remedy. ( Chapin v. Gritton, supra, 178 Cal. App. 2d at pp. 560-565.)
