Unruh v. Truck Insurance Exchangegreen1 sentence2014Conduct which ‘goes beyond the normal role of an insurer’ renders the insurer vulnerable to suit as a ‘person other than the employer.’” (Id. at p. 1479, quoting Unruh v. Truck Insurance Exchange (1972) 7 Cal.3d 616, 630-631 (Unruh).) It then closely examined the allegations of the plaintiff’s complaint to determine whether the conduct alleged went beyond the normal role of insurer. | 1 | 1 |

Babbitt v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County
green
1 sentence2025(Babbitt, supra, 246 Cal.App.4th at p. 1144 .) With respect to 13 revocable trusts, however, the court found that the duty to account to the trust’s beneficiaries is “postponed.” (Id. at p. 1142.) The appellate court found that McCormack had standing to request an accounting of the irrevocable Trust B, but that she could not seek an accounting for the revocable Trust A. (Id. at p. 1143.) The court noted that: “‘The interpretation of statutory provisions bearing on the standing issue is a question of law.’” (Ibid., italics added.) The court concluded that based on its interpretation of the Prob | 1 | 2025–2025 |

Mitchell v. Scott Wetzel Services, Inc.
green
1 sentence2014In Mitchell, the plaintiff alleged that the administrator had repeatedly delayed rehabilitation and disability payments, threatened to terminate benefits for untrue reasons, misrepresented to the plaintiff that checks had been mailed, stopped payment or put a hold on checks that had been delivered, misrepresented the availability of a rental car to take the plaintiff to a medical examination, and committed perjury before a WCAB judge. ( Mitchell, supra, 227 Cal.App.3d at pp. 1477-1478.) The appellate court began its analysis by noting there is “a judicially 10 created exception to the WCAB’s e | 1 | 2014–2014 |
Thomas v. Chadwick
green
2 sentences2012The plaintiff in Chadwick alleged that state officials had “acted negligently and recklessly in making the . . . report [of child abuse],” thereby “depriving [plaintiffs] of their constitutional right to family unity undisturbed by unwarranted government interference.” (Id. at p. 818.) The defendants moved for “judgment on the pleadings, arguing (among other things) . . . that [their] acts were protected by absolute immunity under [Penal Code section 11172].” (Ibid.) In opposition, the plaintiffs argued that a section 1983 claim “may not be barred by state law immunities.” ( 224 Cal.App.3d at 2012The plaintiff in Chadwick alleged that state officials had “acted negligently and recklessly in making the . . . report [of child abuse],” thereby “depriving [plaintiffs] of their constitutional right to family unity undisturbed by unwarranted government interference.” (Id. at p. 818.)

Pinizzotto v. Superior Court of L.A. Cty.
green
1 sentence2011The defendant filed a motion to suppress arguing that the consent he provided to Officer O’Neal was not “sufficient to justify a finding that [he] consented to the second search of the automobile.” (Id. at p. 590.) The appellate court began its analysis by stating that “[a] consent to one search does not authorize a subsequent second search.” (Pinizzotto, supra, 257 Cal.App.2d at p. 590 .) Considered in isolation, this language suggests that the appellate court concluded that officers may never conduct more than one search pursuant to a single grant of consent. | 1 | 2011–2011 |
Carlsbad Aquafarm, Inc. v. State Department of Health Services
green
2 sentences2001The appellate court began its analysis by reviewing federal law on the existence and scope of a "constitutional tort." ( Aquafarm, supra, 83 Cal.App.4th at pp. 815-816, 100 Cal. Rptr.2d 87 .) The concept of a constitutional damages claim was first recognized in ( Bivens v. Six Unknown Fed. 2001Narcotics Agents (1971) 403 U.S. 388 , 91 S.Ct. 1999 , 29 L.Ed.2d 619 ( Bivens ).) Reasoning that federal courts may use any available remedy to make good the invasion of a legal wrong, the Supreme Court held the victim of a Fourth Amendment violation by federal officers may bring suit in federal court against the officers for damages. ( Id. at pp. 390-397, 91 S.Ct. 1999 .) The Aquafarm court noted that more recently, however, the United States Supreme Court was more reluctant to recognize a right to damages for alleged due process violations. ( Aquafarm, supra, at p. 816 , 100 Cal. Rptr.2d 87 | 1 | 2001–2001 |
Stegs Investments v. Superior Court
