United States Third Circuit
Azur v. Chase Bank, USA, 09-1553
In plaintiff's suit against Chase Bank alleging violations of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and common law negligence after her personal assistant misappropriated over $1 million from plaintiff through fraudulent use of her Chase credit card over the course of seven years, summary judgment in favor of Chase is affirmed where: 1) section 1643 of the TILA does not provide the cardholder with a right to reimbursement; 2) plaintiff vested her personal assistant with apparent authority to use the Chase card and thus her section 1643 and 1666 claims cannot stand; and 3) Pennsylvania's economic loss doctrine bars plaintiff's common law negligence claim.
