Garamendi’s Refund Order Upheld by Court
Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi’s authority to issue Proposition 103 rate rollback orders to specific insurance companies was upheld by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Dzintra Janavs after a hearing in Los Angeles.
A 20th Century insurance challenge to Garamendi’s orders was rejected, but company lawyers indicated they would appeal. So far, only one major California auto insurer, the Automobile Club of Southern California, has issued refunds of part of 1989 insurance premiums as ordered by Garamendi.
