C.A. 4th
G045579

The Fourth Appellate District denied a petition for writ of mandate. The court held that pursuant to Henkel Corp. v. Hartford Accident & Indemnity Co. (2003) 29 Cal.4th 934, a liability-policy clause that required the insurer to consent to one insured corporation’s assignment of its policy rights to a second, related corporation as part of a corporate restructuring was enforceable notwithstanding wording in an 1872 statute enacted before liability insurance existed in California.
