Opinion

WILLHITE, J.

When an insured who has financed the purchase of an insurance policy through a lender defaults, and the lender notifies the insurer under Insurance Code section 673, subdivision (d), that it is exercising the insured’s right to cancel the policy, must the insurer notify additional named insureds of the cancellation? In these circumstances, we hold that neither section 673 nor section 677.2 requires the insurer to provide notice of cancellation to an additional named insured.
