In Halvorsen v. Aramark Uniform Services, Inc. (1998) 65 Cal.App.4th 1383, a terminated employee sued his former employer for breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. He also sued his former manager for interference with contract relations by wrongfully inducing his former employer to terminate him. The manager responded to the complaint with a demurrer. The court observed that "when a complaint affirmatively alleges facts amounting to an affirmative defense, it is subject to a demurrer." (Halvorsen, supra, 65 Cal.App.4th at p. 1391.)
