California Court of Appeal

In an insurer's action against PG&E for property damages arising from an industrial power failure that injured its insured, a petition for a writ of mandate challenging a denial of PG&E's motion to strike a prayer for recovery of insured-nonparty's deductible is granted where the administrative regulation relied on by the insurer did not authorize it to recover its insured's deductible in litigation.
