In late February, Minnesota Litigator noted a decision by U.S. District Court Judge Patrick Schiltz (D. Minn.) in the lengthy battle between auto insurers in and windshield replacement shops (and, before that, noted the Minnesota Supreme Court’s decision in this area).
It will surprise no one that insurers are taking Judge Schiltz’s adverse decision on summary judgment up on appeal (United States Court of Appeals, Case No. 10-1689).
(This is unsurprising because these litigants appear to have an endless appetite for litigation; Minnesota Litigator intends no inference as to the validity of the District Court’s reasoning or outcome.)
