Safeco Ins. Co. v. Superior Court

In Safeco Ins. Co. v. Superior Court (1990) 216 Cal. App. 3d 1491, the court ordered dismissal of an action which included a request for injunctive relief under Business and Professions Code section 17200 et seq. based on an insurer's allegedly unfair claims settlement practices. ( Id. at pp. 1493-1494.) "Though the issue is one of first impression, we have no difficulty in deciding the Business and Professions Code provides no toehold for scaling the barrier of Moradi-Shalal . . . . To permit plaintiff to maintain this action would render Moradi-Shalal meaningless." ( Id. at p. 1494.)
