California Court of Appeal

Sustaining of demurrer without leave to amend complaint alleging defendant insurer unreasonably and in bad faith refused plaintiff's demand to settle her claim for benefits for bodily injury caused by an underinsured motorist before submitting the claim to arbitration, is affirmed as the facts alleged in the complaint are insufficient to state a cause of action for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.
