Supreme Judicial Court of Maine
Lougee Conservancy v. Citimortgage, Inc.
August 2, 20122012 Me. LEXIS 103
Summary
The court affirmed summary judgment against the Lougees on invasion of privacy, conversion, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and punitive damages, but vacated summary judgment on negligence. It held that the record supported a prima facie negligence claim against all defendants and supported competing inferences about whether Safeguard acted as CitiMortgage's agent. The court concluded that the other claims failed because the evidence did not establish the required intent, seriousness of interference, severity of distress, or malice.
