Description
The facts of this case are undisputed. In 1978 the Insurance Commissioner adopted the Unfair Claims Settlement Practices Regulation, WAC 284-30-300 to -410. Included within this regulation were provisions governing certain practices regarding auto repair claims under automobile insurance policies. WAC 284-30-390. Ten plaintiffs (eight auto repair proprietors and two consumers) brought this action in Thurston County Superior Court against the Insurance Commissioner seeking a permanent injunction against implementation of portions of the regulation, specifically WAC 284-30-390(5), (6), and (7), and a declaratory judgment as to the validity of those parts of the regulation, contending that by enacting subsections 5, 6, and 7 the Insurance Commissioner exceeded his statutory authority and violated the supremacy clause of the United States Constitution. After denial of this injunction, both parties moved for summary judgment. Judge Doran, in an extensive and well reasoned memorandum opinion, granted summary judgment in favor of the Insurance Commissioner. Plaintiffs Ritchie Horan and Geraline Haynie appeal. We affirm.
