California Court of Appeal

Superior court properly granted plaintiffs' motion to tax costs on grounds that defendant's Code of Civil Procedure section 998 offer to compromise was invalid because jointly made. Court did not err in confirming the arbitration award of damages (in excess of the policy limits) into a money judgment against defendant.
