California Court of Appeal

In this insurance action, plaintiffs seek insurance proceeds for preforeclosure damage to the property deliberately caused by the purchaser. Judgment in favor of defendant Scottsdale Insurance Company is affirmed, where: 1) plaintiffs' full credit bid at the foreclosure sale under the second deed of trust precluded them from making a claim on the insurance proceeds; and 2) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding that a defense offer to compromise under the Code of Civil Procedure section 998 was reasonable.
