| In dismissal for failure to state a cause, the inquiry is into the sufficiency, not the veracity, of the material allegations.[15] The test is whether the material allegations, assuming these to be true, state ultimate facts which constitute plaintiff's cause of action, such that plaintiff is entitled to a favorable judgment as a matter of law.[16] The general rule is that inquiry is confined to the four corners of the complaint, and no other.[17] | |||||
