NATIONWIDE TRANSPORT v. CASS INFORMATION
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals today released an opinion in NATIONWIDE TRANSPORT v. CASS INFORMATION, No. 06-15653 , a diversity appeal. The panel consisted of John T. Noonan, William A. Fletcher, and Sandra S. Ikuta, Circuit Judges.
IKUTA, Circuit Judge:
Plaintiff-appellant Nationwide Transport Finance (Nationwide) appeals the district court’s judgment following a jury . . .
NOONAN, Circuit Judge, dissenting as to Part III:
This case involves the interaction of common law principles of agency and tort with the Uniform Commercial Code. It is of uncommon interest in its potential impact on credit in the large area in which factors furnish credit. Because the case may be seen as merely “a commercial dispute” to be decided under state law, its broader significance needs to be addressed. . . .
