01/01/03 California Supreme Court Upholds TIG Decision But Leaves Coverage Question To Trial Court

Outside Publications | Article
Jason Komorsky

On November 14, 2002, a unanimous California Supreme Court affirmed an appellate court·s ruling allowing a policyholder to proceed with a suit against its insurance carrier alleging that a setoff claim triggers the insurance carrier·s duty to defend and indemnify under a general liability insurance policy. Construction Protective Services Inc. v. TIG Specialty Insurance Co., Case No. S099647 (Calif. Sup. November 14, 2002). In a carefully worded decision crafted by Justice Brown, the Supreme Court agreed with the appellate court·s ruling overturning the trial court·s sustaining of the insurer·s demurrer but, at the same time, rejected the appellate court·s reasoning that a setoff claim under Section 431.70 of the California Code of Civil Procedure constituted affirmative relief.
