Meyer v. Community College of Beaver County

CONCURRING OPINION by

I concur in the result reached by the Majority. I agree that the Community College of Beaver County (College), as a legal entity, falls within the definition of “person” set forth at section 2(2) of the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (CPL)1 and is subject to private actions brought under section 9.2 of the CPL.21 also agree with the Majority’s conclusion that the claims set forth in the complaint sound in contract, rather than tort.
