2785 Policy language excluding liability for damage to property entrusted to the insured for storage or safekeeping did not exclude coverage for damage to property held by a public agency as designee of the state for the purpose of managing and controlling public use; when multiple policies cover a single liability and excess-only provisions conflict with proration provisions, defense costs should be prorated among the insurers.CitationPACIFIC INDEM v BELLEFONTE INS (Storage or Safekeeping) 80 CA4 1226 [See: Montrose v Admiral 10 C4 645; AT 8/95; Smith Kandal v Continental 67 CA4 406; CSE v Northbrook 23 CA4 1839]
