Estate of Buck

In Estate of Buck (1994) 29 Cal.App.4th 1846, the appellate court characterized these three elements as "'fundamental jurisdiction.'" (Id. at p. 1854, fn. 7.) According to Buck, the reported cases in which courts have permitted a collateral attack based on factors other than a lack of fundamental jurisdiction have been limited to those in which the court entered a judgment it had no power to grant, as where the amount awarded in a default judgment exceeded the amount requested in the complaint or where a court granted prejudgment interest in a stipulated judgment that was contrary to statute and to a stipulation that supported the judgment. (Buck, at pp. 1855-1856.)
