The following excerpt is from Connecticut Indem. Co. v. Superior Court, 73 Cal.App.4th 540, 86 Cal.Rptr.2d 515 (Cal. App. 1999):

Another pertinent rule is that, notwithstanding the social interest in advancing settlement and avoiding the formality of litigation, a prospective litigant has no cause of action to obtain even this limited insurance information before commencing litigation against the insured.
