On Monday morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinion in Heckart v. A-1 Self-Storage, Inc. (Briefs here; oral argument video here.) This will be the first opinion for a case argued on the February calendar.
The question in Heckart is: Was a self-storage facility’s storage rental agreement, which included provisions arguably meeting the definition of “insurance” (see Ins. Code, §§ 22, 1758.75), subject to regulation under the Insurance Code when the principal purpose of the agreement between the parties was the rental of storage space rather than the shifting and distribution of risk? (Fifth District Court of Appeal Justice Bruce Smith is the pro tem.)
The opinion can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
