Opinion
BUCKLEY, J.
Brown & Bryant, Inc. (Brown & Bryant), appeals from a judgment dismissing its action against Hartford Accident & Indemnity Company, Fireman’s Fund Insurance Companies, and United States Fidelity & Guaranty Company (collectively Insurers) for failure to bring the action to trial within five years. (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 583.310, 583.360.) It contends the five-year period was tolled during the time a settlement agreement between the parties was in effect. We agree and will reverse.
