California Court of Appeal May 27, 2003, C042660 (BLACK DIAMOND ASPHALT, INC. v. Superior Court)

Opinion

CALLAHAN, J.

We granted an alternative writ in this case to determine whether the California Insurance Guarantee Association (CIGA), an unincorporated association with its principal business in the County of Los Angeles, may only be sued in that county despite the fact that CIGA allegedly incurred a statutory liability to defend the plaintiff in a lawsuit in San Joaquin County.
