Golden Eagle Ins. v. Crusader Ins.
Defendant Crusader Insurance Company appeals the judgment in favor of plaintiff Golden Eagle Insurance Company for equitable contribution. Golden Eagle succinctly summarizes the issue before us as follows: "In this action for equitable contribution or indemnity, the parties dispute an issue of first impression in the California courts: whether an insurer can obtain an equitable recovery for providing a defense under a third-party liability insurance policy against a non-participating insurer in a situation where the insurance companies dispute whether they insure the same entity." Court answer that question in the negative, and so reverse the judgment.
