2685 REVIEW DENIED Under a collision policy that authorized the insurer to settle claims either with the insured or the owner of the vehicle, the insurer was not liable to the insured after it paid a claim to her estranged husband who was one of the registered owners of the vehicle, even though an informal separation agreement made the insured the sole owner of the vehicle.CitationGEICO v SUPERIOR COURT (Registered Owner) 79 CA4 95 [See: VehC 5600.5, 4150.5; CA State Auto Assn v Foster 14 CA4 147, T/AT 5/93; Suburban Motors v State Farm 218 CA3 1354]
