California Court of Appeal


Mercury Casualty v. Chu, G049132

In this insurance action, plaintiff seeks declaratory relief regarding its insurance obligation towards defendants. Summary judgment in favor of plaintiff on the issue of whether the policy provided coverage for passenger Pham's judgment, and the court's determination that plaintiff's policy excludes coverage for Pham's personal injury lawsuit against driver Chu is reversed, where the policy provision excluding Pham from coverage is an overbroad expansion of the statutorily permitted exclusion and is contrary to public policy.
