20 opinions for “Stoll v. Christian World Adoption”
Justice Stevens, concurring. The Court correctly confines its discussion to the narrow issue presented by the record, see ante, at 675-678, and correctly upholds the all-comers policy. I join its opinion without reservation. Because the dissent has volunteered an argument that the school’s general Nondiscrimination Policy would be “plainly” unconstitutional if applied to this case, post, at
Smith v. Sovereign Camp Woodmen of the Worldpublic domain
January 24, 1944. I regret that I find myself in disagreement with Mr. Acting Associate Justice Stoll in a very small particular of this case. I think the judgment below should be affirmed without modification. In the first place, contest as to interest on the amount of the "face of the policy" was not decided by the lower Court (it is not mentioned in the apparently *Page 203 exhaustive decree), so it is not a proper subject for review by this Cou

Opinion O’LEARY, P. J. Brent Beckwith appeals from a judgment of dismissal entered after the trial court sustained without leave to amend Susan Dahl’s demurrer to his complaint alleging intentional interference with an expected inheritance (IIEI) and deceit by false promise.
