• First American Title appealed to the Supreme Court because the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals had decided a title-holder does not have to show any financial harm to be able to sue about a legal violation.
• In the case, First American v. Edwards, a woman objected that First American and Tower City Title Agency had an improper relationship under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act.
• The Supreme Court accepted the appeal and heard oral arguments, but then adjourned without taking any action, which surprised First American's attorneys.
