p1598 An insurer sought a declaration that it had no duty to defend an insured, but the trial court stayed the proceedings until the termination of the underlying action against the insured. The Court of Appeal remanded for reconsideration of the stay. There were no overlapping issues in the two cases, so the trial court's role was to exercise discretion after considering the possibility of prejudice to both parties.CitationGREAT AMERICAN INS.
