Can a plaintiff avoid demurrer by pleading facts or positions in an amended complaint?

In addition, a plaintiff cannot avoid a demurrer by pleading facts or positions in an amended complaint that contradict facts pleaded in the original complaint, or by suppressing facts that prove the pleaded facts false. (Cantu v. Resolution Trust Corp. (1992) 4 Cal.App.4th 857, 877.) "[W]hen a complaint contains allegations that are fatal to a cause of action, a plaintiff cannot avoid those defects simply by filing an amended complaint that omits the problematic facts or pleads facts inconsistent with those alleged earlier. [Citations.] Absent an explanation for the inconsistency, a court will read the original defect into the amended complaint, rendering it vulnerable to demurrer again." (Banis Restaurant Design, Inc. v. Serrano (2005) 134 Cal.App.4th 1035, 1044.)
