Court of Appeals of Washington July 14, 2003, No. 51019-3-I (James E. Torina Fine Homes, Inc. v. Mutual of Enumclaw Insurance)

Baker, J.

James E. Torina Fine Homes, Inc., sued its insurer, Mutual of Enumclaw, alleging a Consumer Protection Act1 (CPA) claim for failure to make a good faith investigation of its insurance claim. The trial court ruled that bad faith was established as a matter of law, and that the insurer had thus committed a CPA violation.
