California Court of Appeal
Kaufman & Broad Cmtys., Inc. v. Performance Plastering, Inc., C049391
When an insurance company seeks to provide a defense in pending litigation for a corporation that has been suspended for nonpayment of its taxes, the insurance company must intervene in the action to protect its own interests and those of its insured. The insurance company may not answer and litigate the lawsuit in the name of the suspended corporation without intervening in the case.
