California Court of Appeal September 1, 1998, B106304 (Downey Venture v. LMI Ins. Co.)

Opinion

CROSKEY, J.

The principal question presented by this case is whether insurance liability coverage for a claim of malicious prosecution, even though expressly promised in the policy, is precluded by the provisions of Insurance Code section 533 which bars indemnity for “wilful acts” of an insured.
