U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-1689
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Wollman, Author, with Bright and Colloton,
Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Minnesota Auto Glass Replacement Litigation. Alpine's
practice of releasing insureds from any obligation to pay the difference
between the amount the insurer greed to pay and the price Alpine charged
for glass replacement did not violate the Minnesota's anti-incentive
statute; insurer's blast fax setting the amount it would pay for
replacements did not form a valid, enforceable unilateral contract;
arbitrator correctly applied the competitive price standard set forth in the
applicable endorsement and Minnesota law.
