1991The county’s position that it is not barred from relitigating the banking game issue can be described as a “nonsensical interpretation of res judicata [which] is a frivolous ground for . . . appeal, maiding the appeal totally and completely without merit.” (Weber v. Willard (1989) 207 Cal.App.3d 1006, 1010 [ 255 Cal.Rptr. 165 ].) We also conclude this appeal was brought for the improper purposes of harassment and delay.

Columbus opposed the motion for summary judgment on the cross-complaint by attempting to show that there are triable issues of fact regarding the alleged principal-agency relationship between Gray Line and Guatemala Sightseeing.
