Deluxe International Group v. R&M Plastic Recycling, LLC
Court of Common Pleas, Philadelphia County Pennsylvania
What the Case Involved: Our client, a Canadian window manufacturer, ordered a quantity of PVC from an Ohio manufacturer, wiring the purchase price to a Pennsylvania attorney to hold the funds in escrow until the PVC was picked up by the Canadian window manufacturer’s trucking company. When the trucks arrived at the Ohio PVC manufacture’s site, there was no product available. The Canadian window manufacturer instructed the Pennsylvania escrow attorney to return its funds. However, the Pennsylvania escrow attorney had already released the funds to the Ohio PVC manufacturer claiming his involvement was done. Marks & Sokolov instituted suit based upon fraud against the Pennsylvania escrow attorney and the Ohio PVC manufacturer and its principals.
Result: Marks & Sokolov obtained a full recovery of the $40,244 payment from the Canadian window manufacturer from the Pennsylvania escrow attorney and a judgment for $20,000 for additional damages caused by the failure to deliver the PVC against the Ohio PVC manufacturer. Tom Sullivan served as lead counsel.Deluxe International Group v. R&M Plastic Recycling, LLC
