An insurers trade group executive said today that carriers will be in court Monday to appeal a judge's refusal to halt new regulations limiting carriers' use of ZIP codes to rate California drivers.

Sam Sorich, president of the Association of California Insurance Companies said the organization expects "to go to the California Court of Appeal and ask for a reversal."

Yesterday's decision by Superior Court Judge Loren McMaster in Sacramento was hailed by State Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi, who issued a statement terming it "a great victory for California voters and good drivers wherever they live."
