California Court of Appeal

In this abatement action, summary judgment in favor of cross-defendant First American in a cross-action to recover moneys under a policy of title insurance following a default on a real estate loan is affirmed, where: 1) the notice of abatement action is not a lien or encumbrance on the title insurance; and 2) even if the notice of abatement action did constitute a defect in or lien or encumbrance on title, cross-complainants' are not insured under the policy and thus lack standing to assert a claim under the policy.
