Washington–The Supreme Court has turned down a request to review a policyholders' suit against State Farm that alleged the insurer used unreliable parts for collision repairs.
Attorneys for the class action, in their request for a hearing by the high court, had questioned the impartiality of an Illinois judge who was part of a decision to toss out a $1.01 billion judgment against State Farm.
The court without comment Monday declined to review the case despite claims by the plaintiffs that Illinois Supreme Court Justice Lloyd Karmeier should have been disqualified from hearing the case because he had accepted direct and indirect contributions from State Farm to finance his election to the Illinois Supreme Court.
