Dalton M. LLC v. North Cascade Trustee Services

The Supreme Court of Washington recently heard a case where the owner of property sued the lender that wrongly foreclosed on the property. The owner prevailed at trial court on both quiet title and damages for slander of title, and the trial court awarded substantial fees based on the slander of title claim. The appellate court reversed the slander of title claim but awarded fees to the owner on a new theory before the case was reviewed by the highest court of the state.
