Another Supreme Court petition for review raises Prop. 64: Poirer v. State Farm Mutual Auto Ins. Co.
I am informed that a petition for review filed in Poirer v. State Farm Mutual Auto. Ins. Co., case no. S129439, raises the Proposition 64 retroactivity issue. In its original unpublished decision, the Second Appellate District, Division Eight, followed Donabedian v. Mercury Insurance Co., 116 Cal.App.4th 968 (2004), in holding that the UCL may be used to enforce Proposition 103, which regulates auto insurance companies. See Poirer v. State Farm Mutual Auto. Ins. Co., case no. B165389 (unpublished decision issued 10/15/04). Although this point is not mentioned in the unpublished decision, the plaintiff was apparently not one of the defendant's policyholders.
