p0576 Since the Insurance Code specifically adopts the California Discovery Act for use in arbitrations of disputes arising under Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist coverage in an automobile policy, the court has jurisdiction to rule on discovery disputes; although lesser sanctions were available, dismissal of an Underinsured Motorist claim as a sanction for disobedience to a discovery order was not an abuse of discretion.CitationMIRANDA v 21ST CENTURY INS (UM Discovery) 117 CA4 913 [See: InsC 11580.2; CCP 2023, 1012, 1015; Workman v Superior Court 176 CA3 493; Kaplan v Eldorado 55 CA3 587]
