UDC - UNIVERSAL DEVELOPMENT V. CH2M HILL (2010)
181 CAL.APP.4 TH 10
UDC Decision:
• A promise to indemnify “implicitly embraces
the cost of defense” (unless a contrary
intention appears)
• Duty to defend is separate from the
obligation to indemnify and not contingent
on a finding of negligence
• Duty to defend “necessarily arises as soon as
such claims are made”
