The California Supreme Court refused to rule in a case brought forward by several insurance groups that contested the constitutionality of a state law giving Northridge earthquake victims an additional year to reopen damage claims. Parties involved in the filing of the petition seeking the court’s action include the Association of California Insurance Companies, the Personal Insurance Federation of California and the National Association of Independent Insurers. The court provided no explanation for its decision to decline the case. The law was passed in reaction to the scandal which erupted earlier this year with respect to alleged secret deals between former California Insurance Commissioner Chuck Quackenbush and six insurance companies following the 1994 Northridge quake.
