Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file opinions in two cases argued on the late-May calendar.
Fluor Corporation v. Superior Court raises the issue whether the limitations on assignment of third party liability insurance policy benefits recognized in Henkel Corp. v. Hartford Accident & Indemnity Co. (2003) 29 Cal.4th 934 are inconsistent with the provisions of Insurance Code section 520. [Disclosure: Horvitz & Levy represents the real party in interest.]
In Lee v. Hanley, the court will decide if the one-year statute of limitations for actions against attorneys set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure section 340.6 applies to a former client’s claim against an attorney for reimbursement of unearned attorney fees advanced in connection with a lawsuit.
The opinions can be viewed tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m.
