United States Ninth Circuit
EMPLOYERS INS. OF WAUSAU v. GRANITE STATE INS. CO., 01-57231, 02-55024
A subrogation action between a primary insurer and an excess insurer was not time-barred, as the statute of limitations in such an action is that which would have been applicable had the insured brought suit on its own behalf. California courts have not broadly rejected "stacking" policy limits in the primary insurer context.
