Duffy v. Lawyers Title

A district court denied a title insurance company’s motion to dismiss in an equity skimming case, saying the caselaw was unclear as to whether the plaintiffs could properly plead a violation of Pennsylvania’s Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law under the circumstances. The court also refused to dismiss a civil conspiracy claim, saying at this stage of the proceedings, the exact relationship of the parties cannot be ascertained for the purposes of determining the relevance of the intracorporate conspiracy doctrine.
