Description
Home Insurance Company appeals from a judgment of dismissal in favor of Zurich Insurance Company after a demurrer to its first amended complaint for fraud, declaratory relief, and subrogation or indemnity was granted without leave to amend. Homes action is premised on an alleged misrepresentation by counsel for Zurichs predecessor. Counsel allegedly misrepresented the available insurance policy limits to induce settlement of a lawsuit. Since any such statement is absolutely privileged under the litigation privilege of Civil Code section 47, subdivision (b), it will not support a direct fraud action for damages.
