Erie Ins. v. Mildon Bus Lines, PICS Case No. 16-1456 (C.P. Allegheny Sept. 12, 2016) Wettick, J. (9 pages).
A bus line sent unsolicited faxes to the vocational schools in Pittsburgh, which prompted a federal action against the bus line under the TCPA. It also prompted the bus line’s insurer to request clarification on whether it had a duty to defend the bus line under the terms of its policy, to which the schools responded with a motion to dismiss grounded in collateral estoppel. Noting that discovery was incomplete, the court denied both motions.
