Bocanegra v. Gonzalez

Summary

The court held that the garnishment court had jurisdiction to determine the insurer's liability under the existing policy but lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate the injured judgment creditor's equitable request to reform that policy. The injured claimant lacked standing to seek reformation because she was neither a party nor in privity with a party to the insurance contract. The court therefore vacated the portion of the judgment addressing reformation, affirmed the discharge of the garnishee, and declined to consider the insurer's improperly presented cross-appeal.
