California Court of Appeal

In a class action against Farmers Insurance Exchange for violation of the unfair competition law, trial court's dismissal of the action in holding that the five-year period to bring the action to trial expired pursuant to the parties' written stipulation is reversed and remanded, as the court erred by failing to consider the potential impact on this case of appellate proceedings in a related action in determining whether it was impracticable or futile to bring this action to trial.
