Pennsylvania Suit Against Commonwealth Granted Class Action Status

Excellent Law.com analysis here.

The suit alleges that anytime Commonwealth Land Title’s agents discovered in the title search that an insurance purchaser had refinanced the property within the past three or 10 years, they should have known that a prior insurance policy had been issued and that the discounts should have been automatically applied.

PA title agents know this is a vaguely worded section of the title insurance rating manual.   Unfortunate it has to be resolved via class action.
