The moving parties sought to review an order of a single judge of the Court of Appeal refusing a stay of an order enforcing Letters Rogatory from a California court.
They argued the original Letters Rogatory were null and void, depriving the court of jurisdiction.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the motion, finding no serious issue to be tried.
The court held that under s. 60 of the Evidence Act, jurisdiction is established when it is made to appear that a foreign court has duly authorized a request, and the moving parties failed to challenge the validity of the request at the original hearing.
