Tomorrow morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinion in Rosenberg-Wohl v. State Farm Fire and Casualty Company. (Briefs here; oral argument video here.)
When the court granted review in the case in October 2023, it limited the issue to: “When a plaintiff files an action against the plaintiff’s insurer for injunctive relief under the Unfair Competition Law, which limitations period applies, the one-year limitations period authorized by Insurance Code section 2071 or the four-year statute of limitations in Business and Professions Code section 17208?” More about the case here. Horvitz & Levy is Supreme Court counsel for State Farm.
It’s been just under two months since Rosenberg-Wohl was argued, so the opinion filing is a bit faster than usual. It will be the first decision in the nine cases argued on the late-May calendar. There are still four undecided cases from the early-May calendar. (Opinions in those are expected by August 5.) Opinions in the other eight late-May cases should file by August 19, except for the opinion in Castellanos v. State of California, which, because of post-argument briefing, isn’t due until August 29. Additional argued but undecided cases are the seven on the June calendar (opinions expected by August 29).
The Rosenberg-Wohl opinion can be viewed tomorrow starting at 10:00 a.m.
