An October 13 order in the Western District of Washington granted Yardi’s summary-judgment motion as to abandoned Count II and otherwise denied it without prejudice. The court reopened discovery concerning the remaining claims.
The order concerns Duffy v. Yardi Systems, a case involving allegations about rental-pricing software and information sharing. Allegations are not findings of liability. Counts I and III remain for further proceedings; a blanket statement that the court denied summary judgment on every claim is inaccurate.
Our read: the case remains active, with a broader factual record still to be developed. Operators should evaluate actual data-sharing practices and contractual controls in their own systems. This case-specific order does not establish that all pricing software is unlawful or lawful, and a separate California ruling should not be generalized to this proceeding.
Key Takeaways
- Summary judgment was granted on abandoned Count II.
- The remaining request was denied without prejudice while discovery reopened.
- The ruling does not decide liability on the remaining claims or software lawfulness generally.
