Normally, filing a motion after the 45-day deadline is not permitted. But because plaintiff did not provide verified responses, the deadline does not apply. The Court agrees that the discovery at issue is relevant and must be answered substantively. The Court therefore GRANTS the motion to compel and requires substantive, Code-compliant responses without objections to be served on defendants counsel within 30 days from today (1/12/21). And because plaintiffs litigation position was not substantially justified, the Court assesses reasonable monetary sanctions of $1000, payable by plaintiff to defendant c/o defendants counsel within 30 days of today (1/12/21).

Background Factual This is an action for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing arising out of the denial of an insurance claim. According to the allegations of the Complaint, for the last nine years, Defendant issued to Plaintiff an Accountants Professional Liability Insurance Policy which provided coverage for acts, errors, and omissions in the rendering of accounting services. (Complaint, 6.) The policy issued for the period 1/18/17 to 1/18/18 (the Policy) provided, in part, that Defendant would pay those sums that an Insured becomes legally obligated to pay as Damages because of a Claim which arises from an Insureds act, error or omission in rendering or failing to render Professional Services . (Id., 7.) On September 14, 2017, various entities (collectively, the Underlying Plaintiffs/Claimants) filed a lawsuit against Plaintiff and its partner Matthew Wheeler entitled Medimpact Healthcare Systems, Inc. v. LMGW Certified Public Accountants, LLP, et al. in San Diego County Superior Court (the Medimpact Lawsuit). (Id., 13.) The Underlying Plaintiffs/Claimants, along with the Howe Family Trust, also filed a demand for Arbitration with AAA on September 19, 2017, seeking $10 million in damages from Plaintiff and Matthew Wheeler (the Medimpact Arbitration). (Id., 14.) The Medimpact Lawsuit was stayed during the pendency of the Medimpact Arbitration and was later dismissed after the arbitrators entered their final award in favor of Plaintiff and Matthew Wheeler. (Id., 16.) The Medimpact Lawsuit and the Medimpact Arbitration are collectively referred to herein as the Claim. (Id., 15.) The Medimpact Complaint and Demand for Arbitration were tendered to Defendant within approximately a week of their filing. (Complaint, 18.) Without performing any meaningful investigation, Defendant disclaimed all coverage, stating it was unable to provide a defense or indemnity. (Id.) Defendant asserted that several of the Policys exclusion provisions applied, particularly Exclusions A, D and F. (Id., 18-21.) In subsequent correspondence from Defendants Claims Manager, Mark Aubrey (Aubrey), Defendant advised, without providing any meaningful analysis, that earlier-filed litigation involving Matthew Wheeler's father, David Wheeler, and the Claim for which Defendant was seeking coverage constitute[d] a single Claim under the terms of the Policy and that this informed Defendants coverage analysis and position. (Complaint, 22.) This conclusion was unreasonable in that it overlooked that (1) Matthew Wheeler was not named as a defendant in the litigation filed against his father in an entirely different lawsuit (the Medimpact Cross-Complaint), and (2) David Wheeler was not named as a defendant in the Medimpact Complaint. (Id.) In correspondence dated July 9, 2018, Plaintiff challenged Defendants denial of coverage, citing a California Court of Appeal case which directly contradicted Defendants reading of Exclusion F and its contention that that exclusion negated its duty to defend. (Complaint, 24.) Plaintiff also explained that at the time of denial, Defendant did not have the type of evidence necessary for application of that exclusion. (Id.) Defendant nonetheless affirmed its denial in correspondence dated July 18, 2018, ridiculing Plaintiffs analysis and ignoring the authority it cited. (Id., 25.) Defendant did, however, concede that Exclusion D was not applicable. (Id., 26.) As a result of the foregoing, Plaintiff was left to hire defense counsel at its own expense. (Complaint, 28.) After 2.5 years and an eight-day arbitration, which resulted in significant fees and costs for Plaintiff which should have been borne by Defendant, Plaintiff and Matthew Wheeler prevailed on all claims. (Id, 29.) Procedural Based on the foregoing allegations, on August 6, 2020, Plaintiff filed the Complaint against Defendant for (1) breach of contract and (2) breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. On October 30, 2020, Defendant filed the instant motion to strike portions of the Complaint. (Code Civ. Proc., 435 and 436.) Plaintiff opposes the motion. Defendants Motion to Strike With the instant motion, Defendant moves to strike Plaintiffs request for punitive damages and allegations relating thereto, arguing that Plaintiff has not pleaded sufficient facts to support such damages. Generally, an insured may sue for breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing on both contract and tort theories and thus punitive damages are potentially available. (Frazier v. Metro Life Ins. Co. (1985) 169 Cal.App.3d 90, 107.) However, the insured is not automatically entitled to punitive damages upon showing that the insurer breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; the insured must still establish that the insurer acted with the requisite intent to warrant such damages. (Delgado v. Heritage Life Ins. Co. (1984) 157 Cal.App.3d 262, 277.) As a general matter, the right to recover punitive damages requiresproof of oppression, fraud, or malice on the part of the defendant by clear and convincing evidence. (Civ. Code, 3294, subd. (a).) For pleading purposes, in order to support a prayer for punitive or exemplary damages, the complaint must allege ultimate facts of the defendants oppression, fraud or malice. (Cyrus v. Haveson(1976) 65 Cal.App.3d 306, 316-317.) Simply pleading the statutory terms oppression, fraud or malice is insufficient to adequately allege punitive damages, but only to the extent that the complaint pleads facts to support those allegations. (Blegen v. Superior Court(1986) 176 Cal.App.3d 503, 510-511.) Therefore, specific factual allegations demonstrating oppression, fraud or malice are required. (Brousseau v. Jarrett(1977) 73 Cal.App.3d 864, 872.) However, the complaint will be read as a whole so that even conclusory allegations may suffice when read in context with facts alleged as to the defendants wrongful conduct. (Perkins v. Super. Ct.(1981) 117 Cal.App.3d 1, 6-7;Clauson v. Super. Ct.(1998) 67 Cal.App.4th 1253, 1255). Additionally, where the defendant is a corporation, as it is here, an award of punitive damages will not lie unless the Plaintiff sets forth specific factual allegations demonstrating that the corporations officer, director, or managing agent authorized or ratified the conduct for which the damages are sought. (Code Civ. Proc., 3294, subd. (b).) In the Complaint, the bases alleged by Plaintiff in support of its request for punitive damages are oppression, fraud and malice. (Complaint, 40.) Under the punitive damages statute, Civil Code section 3294, malice is defined as conduct which is intended by the defendant to cause injury to the plaintiff or despicable conduct which is carried on by the defendant with a willful and conscious disregard of the rights or safety of others. (Civ. Code, 3294, subd. (c)(1).) Oppression is defined as despicable conduct that subjects a person to cruel and unjust hardship in conscious disregard of that persons rights. (Id., 3294, subd. (c)(2).) Despicable conduct, in turn, has been described as conduct that is so vile, base, contemptible, miserable, wretched or loathsome that it would be looked down upon and despised by ordinary decent people. (Mock v. Michigan Millers Mutual Ins. Co.(1992) 4 Cal.App.4th306, 331.) Finally, fraud is defined within the statute as an intentional misrepresentation, deceit, or concealment of a material fact known to the defendant with the intention on the part of the defendant of thereby depriving a person of property or legal rights or otherwise causing injury. (Civ. Code, 3294, subd. (c)(3).) Defendant maintains that Plaintiff has failed to allege specific facts which evidence its alleged malice, oppression or fraud, instead setting forth what amounts to a mere restatement of the statutory components of punitive damages and conclusory, non-specific allegations. In opposition, Plaintiff maintains that it has pleaded sufficient facts to support its request by setting forth allegations that Defendant engaged in conduct towards it with an intent to injure. More specifically, Plaintiff maintains that allegations that Defendant engaged in bad faith by, among other things, taking an unreasonable and erroneous coverage position without performing an adequate investigation and unreasonably maintaining that position even after being advised that it contradicted applicable insurance law, are sufficient to support an award for punitive damages. Plaintiff also highlights allegations that Defendant continued to deny it insurance benefits despite possessing information that clearly and unambiguously demonstrated that it was contractually obligated to defend [Plaintiff] and did so in order to enrich itself, gambling that Defendants denial would go unchallenged. (Complaint, 40.) The Court does not find Plaintiffs arguments persuasive. As the Court reads the allegations of the Complaint, what Plaintiff has alleged is merely a contractual dispute regarding the interpretation (and application) of various exclusions contained within Plaintiffs professional liability policy. Even if it is true that Defendant wrongfully denied Plaintiffs claim, that would support a cause of action for bad faith and not, without specific facts demonstrating conduct by Defendant that is so vile, base, contemptible, miserable, wretched or loathsome, an award of punitive damages. The wrongfulness of conduct necessary to award punitive damages is greater than that necessary to find bad faith. (Tomeselli v Transamerica Ins. Co (1994) 25 Cal.App.4th 1269, 1286.) Moreover, Plaintiff has not pleaded facts which establish that an officer, director, or managing agent of Defendant authorized or ratified the conduct for which the damages are sought. While Claims Manager Aubrey is mentioned in the Complaint several times, there are no allegations that he was an officer, director or managing agent of Defendant within the meaning of the punitive damages statute. Accordingly, based on the foregoing, Defendants motion to strike is GRANTED WITH 20 DAYS LEAVE TO AMEND. - oo0oo - Calendar line 5 - oo0oo - Calendar line 6 - oo0oo - Calendar line 7 - oo0oo - Calendar line 8 - oo0oo - Calendar line 9 - oo0oo - Calendar line 10 - oo0oo - Calendar line 11 - oo0oo - Calendar line 12 - oo0oo - Calendar line 13 - oo0oo - Calendar line 14 - oo0oo - Calendar line 15 - oo0oo - Calendar line 16 - oo0oo -- Calendar line 17 - oo0oo - Calendar line 18 - oo0oo - Calendar line 19 - oo0oo - Calendar line 20 - oo0oo - Calendar line 21 - oo0oo - Calendar line 22 - oo0oo - Calendar line 23 - oo0oo - Calendar line 24 - oo0oo - Calendar line 25 - oo0oo - Calendar line 26 oo0oo Calendar line 27 - oo0oo - Calendar line 28 - oo0oo - Calendar line 29 - oo0oo - Calendar line 30 oo0oo     SUPERIOR COURT, STATE OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA Department 8, Honorable Sunil R.
