 Ultra Bond Prevails in the Pleadings

In the lawsuit filed by Ultra Bond against State Farm and Lynx Services from PPG in the Federal District Court in Denver Colorado, Judge Robert Blackburn denied the defendants motions to dismiss the Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices and the Tortious Interference with Prospective Advantage and Contractual Relations. The antitrust claims were dismissed without prejudice because Ultra Bond attempted to limit this lawsuit only to the repairable windshield market for State Farm’s customers, and did not include all insurance claims for cracked windshields with similar restrictions (six inches) as adopted by State Farm. Ultra Bond is pleased to now have the suit move into discovery with the Deceptive Trade Practices (a consumer protection act) and Tortious Interference.
