Opinion
COTTLE, P. J.
After Sonia Sanchez obtained a stipulated judgment against L & C Janitorial Service Co. (L & C) and its owner, Cleveland Cadle, she brought a direct action against L & C’s insurer, Truck Insurance Exchange (Truck), as authorized by Insurance Code section 11580. Truck demurred, and the court sustained its demurrer without leave to amend on the ground that the “no action” clause 2 in Truck’s policy precluded suit against it in cases where the judgment against its insured was entered on less than a full, adversarial trial. For reasons we shall explain, we reverse.
