In Lisa Elwell v JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., 3:18-CV-1662 (AWT), a case involving novel issues of law and unique facts, we obtained summary judgment where the plaintiff sued JP Morgan Chase Bank for violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (“CUTPA”) relating to attempts to collect on a home equity line of credit account. Although the plaintiff had signed the original loan documents, she alleged that her ex-husband forged her signature on a credit line increase and disputed the bank’s mortgage interest in the property due to the forgery and their purported neglect in failing to identify it. After extensive litigation, including depositions across the country and a multi-million dollar demand, the District Court (Thompson, J.) dismissed the plaintiff’s slander of title count and granted the bank’s summary judgment motion. An appeal is expected to follow.
