Results
Successfully obtained summary judgment in a breach of contract claim against our client in the Eastern District of New York. The case involved a rental car company attempting to recover from a credit card company based on credit cardholders’ assignment of Collision Damage Waiver benefits to the plaintiff. We argued that there were no contracts between the credit cardholders and our client, but that the contracts were between the cardholders and the non-party banks. The Court dismissed the case in its entirety.
