[Judiciarycommittee1] New Case?

[George Peters]

Ashley, you may have seen this case. I don't see a case cite and don't have
access to the full article, but this showed up in an email from the
publication "The Legal Description":

 



Who bears risk of loss after escrow agent defalcation?


 


Court Report

Wednesday, April 10, 2024

	

The Court of Appeals of Washington recently determined who bore the risk of
loss after an escrow agent absconded with the escrow funds before the escrow
conditions were satisfied. The trial court had concluded the borrower bore
the risk and dismissed the borrower's claims against the lending entities,
and the borrower appealed.

 

Might this be worth checking out?
