(1st Cir. 2022)-Class Action "Mass. Gen. Laws"- Gottlieb v. Amica Mutual Insurance Co., No. 22-1074

JUSTIANOPINION SUMMARY: The First Circuit affirmed the judgments of the district court dismissing part of Plaintiff's putative class action for failure to state a claim and entering summary judgment disposing of the remainder of his claims, holding that there was no error in the proceedings below.

In his complaint, Plaintiff argued that an increased coverage limit on his house and premium violated the terms of his contract with Amica Mutual Insurance Company and that he and other Amica insureds paid too much to insure their homes. The district court dismissed the breach of contract and implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing claims and then granted summary judgment for Amica on the unjust enrichment, money had and received, and Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 93A claims. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that there was no reversible error in the proceedings below. https://cases.justia.com/federal/appellate-courts/ca1/22-1074/22-1074-2022-12-30.pdf?ts=1672423222
