In Pennsylvania, The Legal Intelligencer (reported at law.com) reports:

• A federal judge has certified a consumer class action suit against Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Co., brought by homeowners who claim they were overcharged for title insurance when they refinanced, because they were never told that they qualified for a discounted premium. The ruling [...] in Alberton v. Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Co. joins a growing list of courts that have certified similar class actions in Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, New York and Ohio. At issue in all of the cases are claims by the homeowners that their entitlement to a statutorily discounted premium should have been detected by the insurer during its title search.
