California Court of Appeal

Dismissal of plaintiff’s mandamus claim against the Department of Insurance and the Commissioner of the Department of Insurance is reversed, where plaintiff stated a viable mandamus claim because, as alleged, the commissioner violated the mandatory duty under Insurance Code sections 12921.5(a), 12926, and 10291.5(b) to review a new group disability insurance policy form for compliance with the law prior to approving the policy for distribution in the state.
