Judge Dismisses UCL Claim Related To Insurance Sales, Grants Leave To Amend

Mealey's (July 17, 2018, 11:26 AM EDT) -- LOS ANGELES — A California federal judge on July 12 granted motions filed by insurers to dismiss claims against them in relation to an alleged unlawful scheme that involved one insurer profiting from the sale of its policies on behalf of two other insurers, holding that insureds failed to state claims for relief under California’s unfair competition law (UCL), false advertising law (FAL) and for financial elder abuse, but the judge granted them leave to file an amended complaint (Simon Levay, et al. v. AARP Inc., et al., No. 17-09041, C.D. Calif., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 116585)....
