Metropolitan Property And Liability Insurance Co

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Miriam A. Vogel declined to act immediately on a bid by attorneys for the Metropolitan Property and Liability Insurance Co. to get a court order allowing the firm to raise its rates by 20%, despite Insurance Commissioner Roxani Gillespie's 4-month-old freeze on auto insurance rate increases. Vogel declined to hear the matter immediately, since all cases related to Proposition 103 are supposed to be consolidated in a single court as early as next week.

Insurer Sues Over Proposition 103: Metropolitan Property & Liability Insurance Co. filed suit Thursday against state Insurance Commissioner Roxani M. Gillespie seeking to overturn her regulations enacting the Proposition 103 rate-cutting initiative. The suit seeks to stop her from enforcing the freeze on car insurance rates or the emergency regulations issued last December as "unconstitutional, void and unenforceable."
