Justin L. Cohen, David B. Meschke and Jesse D. Sutz | Brownstein hyatt Farber Schreck LLP<\/a> | May 28, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colorado Supreme Court has issued a number of opinions over the last several years clarifying the scope of the economic loss rule. On May 7, 2019, the court revisited the economic loss rule in Bermel v. BlueRadios, Inc.<\/em>, imparting a blow to the strength of the doctrine by ruling that it does not bar civil theft claims under C.R.S. \u00a7 18-4-405, and further suggesting that it does not bar intentional tort claims, such as fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The economic loss rule is a judge-made doctrine that enforces the boundary between contract law and tort law. The purpose of the rule is simple: to prevent parties from expanding the scope of their bargained-for remedies under a contract. At its most basic level, the rule applies when two parties have a contract not to do X, one of the parties does X, and the other party sues under tort theories based on that conduct. The rule is designed to honor the age-old notion that parties are encouraged to carefully allocate risks, rights and remedies when negotiating contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colorado Supreme Court adopted the economic loss rule in two decisions issued on the same day in 2000\u2014Town of Alma v. Azco Const., Inc. <\/em>and Grynberg v. Agri Tech, Inc.<\/em> The court in Town of Alma explained that the rule \u201cis intended to maintain the boundary between contract law and tort law.\u201d 10 P.3d 1256, 1259 (Colo. 2000). \u201c[T]his principle that parties must be able to confidently allocate their risks and costs in a bargaining situation underlies the necessity for the economic loss rule.\u201d Id. at 1261. The court later explained that the economic loss rule comes down to one fundamental question: can the plaintiff show a duty independent of the contract which supports its tort claim? See BRW, Inc. v. Dufficy & Sons, Inc., <\/em>99 P.3d 66, 72 (Colo. 2004).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bermel v. BlueRadios, Inc.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colorado Supreme Court granted certiorari in Bermel<\/em> to resolve the narrow question of whether the economic loss rule bars civil theft claims asserted under C.R.S. \u00a7 18-4-405. 2019 CO 31, at \u00b6 1 (2019). C.R.S. \u00a7 18-4-405 provides that the rightful owner of stolen property may recover that property from the taker, as well as reasonable attorneys\u2019 fees and the larger amount between treble damages and $200.00. Despite granting certiorari on the narrow issue regarding the interplay between claims asserted under both the civil theft statute and contract, the court\u2019s opinion extends beyond the bounds of that issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question as to whether the economic loss rule operates to bar civil theft claims was before the court because the Colorado Court of Appeals had arrived at different answers in separate opinions. In Rhino Fund, LLLP v. Hutchins<\/em>, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled that the economic loss rule did not bar an investor\u2019s civil theft claim against a fund owner for diverting funds for his own benefit. 215 P.3d 1186, 1190 (Colo. App. 2008). One year later, in Makoto USA, Inc. v. Russell<\/em>, a different division of the Court of Appeals held that the economic loss rule prevented civil theft claims premised on returning funds paid out pursuant to a contract. 250 P.3d 625 (Colo. App. 2009).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facts of Bermel<\/em> were straightforward. Mr. Bermel contracted with BlueRadios, Inc. (\u201cBlueRadios\u201d) to provide engineering services. 2019 CO 31, at \u00b6 4. Anticipating that he would soon be fired and potentially be involved in litigation, Bermel forwarded thousands of emails containing proprietary information to his personal email. Id.<\/em> at \u00b6 7. Bermel\u2019s contract with BlueRadios, however, prohibited Bermel from \u201cremov[ing] any Company materials [including Proprietary Information] from the business premises of [BlueRadios][.]\u201d Id.<\/em> at \u00b6 6. After Bermel filed a wage claim against BlueRadios, the company asserted counterclaims against Bermel for breach of contract and civil theft. Id.<\/em> at \u00b6\u00b6 8\u20139. The trial court found in favor of BlueRadios on both its breach of contract and civil theft counterclaims. Id.<\/em> at \u00b6 11. The Court of Appeals affirmed on the grounds that it considered Rhino Fund<\/em> more persuasive than Makoto. Id.<\/em> at \u00b6 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A preliminary issue in Bermel<\/em> involved whether civil theft\u2014a statutory right of action\u2014is a tort. But the court determined it was unnecessary to opine on this issue in resolving the case. Id.<\/em> at \u00b6 34. Instead, the court, in an opinion authored by Justice M\u00e1rquez, reasoned that the economic loss rule does not bar civil theft claims because a judge-made doctrine cannot override a legislatively created right of action; thus, the decision was premised on broader separation of powers principles. Id.<\/em> at \u00b6\u00b6 39\u201341. As a result, the court overruled Makoto. Id.<\/em>at \u00b6 43.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Gabriel, joined by Justice Hart, dissented. The dissent took the position that a private cause of action under the civil theft statute is a tort, meaning that if the tort duty overlaps with the contractual duty, the economic loss rule bars the civil theft claim. Id.<\/em> at \u00b6 63. The dissent believed this was the case here because to establish that a civil theft occurred, BlueRadios first had to establish Bermel breached the contract by taking proprietary information. Id.<\/em> at \u00b6 65. Because the claims were \u201cinextricably intertwined,\u201d the dissent believed under the facts of this case, the claim was barred. Id.<\/em> at \u00b6\u00b6 65\u201367.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Intentional Tort Distinction?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the Bermel <\/em>decision provided much needed clarity on the applicability of the economic loss rule in the context of civil theft claims, the court nevertheless opened the door to more uncertainty. In providing background on the economic loss rule, the court twice explained that its previous opinions had applied the rule to only bar common law tort claims for negligence or negligent misrepresentation. Id.<\/em> at \u00b6\u00b6 15, 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, in a footnote, the court expounded that \u201cthe economic loss rule generally should not be available to shield intentional tortfeasors from liability for misconduct that happens also to breach a contractual obligation.\u201d Id.<\/em> at \u00b6 20, n.6. This statement, arguably in dicta, suggests that the economic loss rule can only bar unintentional tort claims, such as negligence, as opposed to intentional tort claims, such as fraud, even though the Colorado Court of Appeals has applied the rule to both types of tort claims. At a minimum, the court\u2019s footnote opens the door for future litigation on this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most obvious implication of the Bermel <\/em>decision is that plaintiffs are incentivized to plead claims for civil theft in conjunction with their breach of contract claims, particularly since the civil theft statute allows a plaintiff to seek treble damages and attorneys\u2019 fees that might not otherwise be available under the parties\u2019 contract. Plaintiffs now understand that defendants can no longer use the economic loss rule to dismiss such claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond Bermel<\/em>\u2019s limited holding, the court\u2019s footnote suggests that the economic loss rule should not bar claims for intentionally tortious conduct, creating uncertainty for both plaintiffs and defendants. While the key question under the economic loss rule used to be whether the plaintiff has alleged a duty independent from the contract sounding in tort, there now may be a preliminary question as to whether the plaintiff\u2019s claims are for negligence or intentional torts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fallout from the Bermel <\/em>decision will most certainly be litigated in the coming years, and there may be additional unforeseen implications. But what is clear is that Bermel<\/em> weakens the reach of the economic loss rule.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
