Ehrlich Firm submits depublication request to California Supreme Court concerning LA Checker Cab Co-Op, Inc. v. First Specialty Ins. Co. on behalf of Consumer Attorneys Association of California.

What’s wrong with the LA Checker Cab decision?

The insurance industry is claiming that the decision in LA Checker Cab categorically eliminates insurance coverage in California for all claims based on negligent hiring or negligent supervision.  But the decision, which was drafted by the court with the expectation that it would be unpublished, only devoted a single paragraph to this issue, and resolved it in a way that was contrary to established California Supreme Court precedent.  The court’s failure to resolve the issue correctly appears to have resulted from incomplete briefing it received.  The appellant failed to file a reply brief to respond to the insurer’s arguments, and failed to present any oral argument.  More detailed arguments pointing out the flaws in the opinion are explained in the depublication request submitted by the Ehrlich Law Firm on behalf of CAOC to the California Supreme Court.
