California Court of Appeal
Villanueva v. Fidelity National Title Co., 041870
Reversed a judgment that a realty title company had charged consumers unauthorized fees in connection with their mortgages. The title company insisted that the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over this class action lawsuit because the Insurance Code conferred exclusive original jurisdiction over ratemaking on the Insurance Commissioner and that this case involved ratemaking. Agreeing, the California Sixth Appellate District reversed a judgment that had granted the consumers injunctive relief.
