• noting that where such laws overturn \vested rights\ they are likely to be arbitrary and irrational
• rejecting “a one-year bench mark as the constitutional limit of retroactivity,” and holding four-year retroactive application of curative statute was not violative of due process
• “Swain is cited by the California Supreme Court to indicate that 26 claims have not been alleged with sufficient particularity. That deficiency, when it exists, can be 27 cured in a renewed petition”
• vested right not impaired by retroactive application of the 1984 provision
• A general appearance “ordinarily is an overt act by which the party comes into court and submits to the jurisdiction of the court. This is an affirmative act involving 26 knowledge of the suit and an intention to appear.”
