California Court of Appeal
Liberty National Enterprises, LP v. Chicago Title Insurance Company, B234341
Judgment for plaintiff-insured against defendant-title insurer on the cause of action for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing is reversed, where: 1) defendant had no duty to defend the third party lawsuit for which plaintiff demanded the defense because the action did not allege defective title, but tortious conduct in the manner in which plaintiff acquired title; and as such, 2) plaintiff's other claims on appeal are rendered moot.
