California Court of Appeal
Wallace v. GEICO Gen. Ins. Co., D055305
In a plaintiff's proposed class action lawsuit filed against GEICO General Insurance Company and its employees under Business and Professions Code section 17200, claiming that GEICO wrongly denied coverage for body shop repairs performed at labor rates it considered to be above the prevailing rate, trial court's order striking class allegations is reversed and remanded, where the trial court improperly concluded, as a predicate to its order striking the class allegations, that GEICO's offer of monetary compensation to plaintiff after she filed her lawsuit caused her to lose standing as the representative plaintiff.
