Motion for Summary Judgment and/or Adjudication
4. Financial Condition and Insurance Policy Limits
HLC is in stable financial condition, and its insurance carrier has insurance in an amount apparently sufficient to satisfy the probable amount of a judgment on Plaintiff’s claims.
5. No Evidence of Fraud or Collusion
HLC’s settlement with Plaintiff is the result of an arms-length discussion of the risks of protracted litigation, including an assessment of liability. Cal Coast does not allege any evidence of fraud or collusion.
In sum, the court finds that HLC has presented substantial evidence of its potential liability and that the settlement represents a fair proportion of its liability. For these reasons, the motion for determination of a good faith settlement is GRANTED.
