PETITION OF: UNITED STATES COURT :
OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT :
ORDER
PER CURIAM
AND NOW, this 8th day of August, 2017, the Petition for Certification of Question
of State Law is GRANTED. This Court shall consider the following issues:
1. Whether a non-Pennsylvania resident may bring suit under the
Pennsylvania Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law
(UTPCPL), [73 P.S. §§201-1 to 201-9.3], against a business
headquartered in and operating from Pennsylvania, based on
transactions which occurred outside of Pennsylvania?
2. If the UTPCPL does not allow a non-Pennsylvania resident to
invoke its protections, whether the parties can, through a choice-of-
law provision, expand its protections to parties to the contract who
are non-Pennsylvania resident consumers?
The Prothonotary is DIRECTED to establish a briefing schedule and list this case
for oral argument.
