In a class action suit against 21st Century Insurance Company (21st Century), challenging two of its rating practices as violative of the Insurance Code, the petition for writ of mandate filed by the plaintiffs is denied and the petition for writ of mandate filed by 21st Century granted where: 1) the statutory provisions for an administrative process (and judicial review thereof) are the exclusive means of challenging an approved rate; and 2) 21st Century is entitled to summary judgment as there is no triable issue of fact as to the issue of the approval of the rates at issue in this case.
