3214 REVIEW GRANTED Actions for misappropriation of trade secrets, unfair competition, and other torts, based on allegations that the insured’s employees, who formerly worked for the claimant, were using misappropriated customer lists, price lists, and pricing policies to solicit the claimant’s customers for the benefit of their new employer were covered under the advertising injury portion of a CGL policy; in an action for insurance bad faith, the allegation that a carrier willfully refused to defend when it knew that its refusal was wrongful was sufficient to state a claim for punitive damages.
HAMEID v NATIONAL FIRE INS (Personal Solicitation) 94 CA4 1155 [See: Bank of the West v Superior Court 2 C4 1254, T/AT 9/92; Searle v Superior Court 49 CA3 22]
