Syllabus

<p>Building and Loan Associations—Actions—Conditions Precedent—Jurisdiction—Statutes. Jurisdiction of an action to enjoin a foreign building and loan association from doing business in this state in violation of the laws of the state cannot rest upon compliance with 3 Rem. & Bal. Code, § 3601-20, requiring the state auditor to give twenty days’ notice to any savings and loan association conducting its affairs in an unsafe or unlawful manner, since a board of directors in a foreign jurisdiction could not be made amenable to the demand of such notice.</p> <p>Same—Actions—Jurisdiction'—Conditions Precedent — Notice— Waiver by Appearance. Where a foreign building and loan association entered its general appearance and subsequently filed a demurrer in an action to enjoin it from doing business in this state, it submitted itself to the jurisdiction of the court, and cannot question the jurisdiction to enter judgment against it because of the failure to give it a statutory notice prior to suit brought.</p>
