Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Winneshiek County, Richard D. Stochl, Judge. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Considered by Doyle, P.J., and Tabor and Ahlers, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, J. (11 pages)
Shannon Duncan appeals the district court’s partial grant of summary judgment for her lender and its agents on a punitive damages claim. OPINION HOLDS: Because the record, when viewed in the light most favorable to Duncan, reflects genuine issues of material fact on whether (1) the elements of extortion were met and (2) the defendants acted with “willful and wanton disregard” for her rights, we reverse the grant of summary judgment and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
