In Dahlquist v. California (1966) 243 Cal. App. 2d 208, plaintiffs were denied their day in court because their pleading was not detailed enough. Dahlquist v. California, 243 Cal. App. 2d at pages 211-212. In reversing the trial court and directing it to overrule the demurrer, the appellate court reasoned: "If we were to affirm this judgment sustaining the demurrer the doors of discovery would be closed to plaintiffs. And apropos discovery, we find in this modern method of fact-ascertainment reason for some relaxation of rigidity in application of the rules relating to sufficiency of complaints .... Under Code of Civil Procedures sections 2016-2035, the defendant by depositions, interrogatories, requests of admission, etc. can ascertain every fact known to the plaintiffs and their witness .... That is the purpose of discovery." Dahlquist v. California, 243 Cal. App. 2d at page 213.
