California Court of Appeal
CHAMBI v. THE REGENTS OF THE UNIV. OF CALIFORNIA, G024554
A self-insured governmental entity is not an "insurer," and its agreement to indemnify employees for claims arising in the course and scope of their employment is not insurance; thus, such an entity is not bound by Business and Professions Code section 801(e)-s requirement that an insurer obtain the insured-s consent before settling an action against the insured.
