Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Co. v. Superior Court
Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company (Lumbermens) seeks a writ of mandate directing the superior court to stay or dismiss proceedings in a lawsuit involving Lumbermens and its insured, Marin Cleaners. Lumbermens asserts stay or dismissal is warranted because it is presently subject to an “Agreed Order of Rehabilitation†(rehabilitation order) issued by the Cook County Circuit Court, Illinois, which enjoins all persons from prosecuting any lawsuits against Lumbermens, and the rehabilitation order is effective in California under the Uniform Insurers Liquidation Act (UILA; Ins. Code,[2] § 1064.1 et seq.). Finding merit in Lumbermens’ contention, we grant the petition.
