Is a lack of fundamental jurisdiction a reason for the failure to state a cause of action?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ark-Majiyagbe v. Gandy, C075313 (Cal. App. 2019):
Thus, a lack of standing is a failure to state a cause of action on which relief can be granted, not a lack of fundamental jurisdiction. And that is a distinction that makes a difference here, because "a collateral attack will not lie . . . for failure of the complaint to state a cause of action [citation]." (Molen v. Friedman (1998) 64 Cal.App.4th 1149, 1156-1157.)
