Defendant may be served with process by serving its registered agent\nin the State of Georgia, Corporation Service Company, 2 Sun Court, Suite 400,\n\nPeachtree Corners, GA 30092.\n\fCase 1:26-cv-00765-WMR Documenti1-1 Filed 02/10/26 Page 2 of 25\n\nOn October 17, 2016, Plaintiff purchased an improved tract of land at 6941\nPeachtree Industrial Boulevard, Peachtree Comers, GA 30092, hereinafter referred\nto as \u201cthe property.\u201d In connection with that acquisition and on the same date,\nDefendant sold Plaintiff an owner\u2019s policy of title insurance, insuring against loss or\ndamage sustained or incurred by Plaintiff as a result of certain risks associated with\nthe ownership of the property. A true and accurate copy of the described owner\u2019s\npolicy of title insurance is attached hereto as Exhibit \u201cA.\u201d The owner\u2019s policy of\n\ntitle insurance is hereinafter referred to as \u201cthe title policy.\u201d\n\nIn selling the title policy to Plaintiff, Defendant purposefully performed acts\nand consummated a business transaction in the State of Georgia. This action arises\nfrom such acts and transaction. Defendant is therefore within the jurisdiction of the\n\ncourt pursuant to OCGA \u00a79-10-91.\n\nPlaintiff's office and place of doing business is in Henry County, Georgia.\nThe title policy was sold, issued and delivered to Plaintiff in Henry County, Georgia\n\nby Defendant\u2019s agent William A. Miller, P.C., whose office and place of business\n\fCase 1:26-cv-00765-WMR Documenti1-1 Filed 02/10/26 Page 3 of 25\n\nwas also in Henry County Georgia. Henry County is therefore a legally appropriate\n\nand correct venue for this action pursuant to OCGA \u00a79-10-93.\n\nSubject to specifically stated exclusions and exceptions, the title policy\ninsured against specified risks associated with ownership of the property, including,\nbut not limited to: (a) title being vested other than as stated in the policy; (b) any\ndefect in or lien or encumbrance on the title; and (c) any encroachment,\nencumbrance, variation, or adverse circumstance affecting the title that would be\ndisclosed by an accurate survey of the land, specifically including encroachments\n\nonto the land of existing improvements located on adjoining land.\n\nIn July of 2022, a large sinkhole developed on the property, blocking\nPlaintiffs access to it and the business premises located on it. Upon investigation.\nPlaintiff discovered that the sinkhole was caused by the failure of a system of\nunderground pipes designed to convey under and through Plaintiff\u2019s property and\nadjoining tracts of land to a retention pond owned by Gwinnett County large amounts\nof stormwater runoff collected along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. Plaintiff at this\ntime has not determined who installed the system of underground pipes. However,\n\nexamination of the title to the property reveals that the discharge of stormwater\n\fCase 1:26-cv-00765-WMR Documenti1-1 Filed 02/10/26 Page 4of 25\n\nrunoff from Peachtree Industrial Boulevard onto Plaintiff\u2019s property and one or more\nadjoining tracts of land is authorized by an casement granted to the Georgia State\nHighway Department in 1966 by one of Plaintiff\u2019s predecessors in title. The\ndescribed easement, which is recorded at Deed Book 260, Pages 402-404, Gwinnett\nCounty records, was not disclosed in the title report prepared by Defendant\u2019s agent\nat the time Plaintiff purchased the property, is not set out as an exception to the\nguaranty of fee simple title in the title policy, and is not excluded from coverage by\n\nthe terms of the policy.\n\nOn September 27, 2022, Plaintiff sent written notice to Defendant of the\nexistence of the sinkhole, the system of underground pipes, and the undisclosed\ndrainage easement described in paragraph 6, and demanded that Defendant honor its\nobligations under the title policy. Defendant initially denied the claim, but after\nreconsideration acknowledged in a letter dated October 31, 2022 that coverage is\nafforded for the drainage easement granted to the Georgia State Highway\nDepartment. A true and accurate copy of Defendant\u2019s October 31, 2022 letter is\n\nattached as Exhibit \u201c\u201cB.\u201d\n\fCase 1:26-cv-00765-WMR Documenti-1 Filed 02/10/26 Page 5of 25\n\nThe title policy gives Defendant the right to elect from specified remedies to\nsatisfy its obligations under the policy, including legal or other action to cure or\nremove a title defect or encumbrance, or payment of Plaintiff\u2019s monetary loss. In its\nletter of October 31, 2022, Defendant stated it would pay the monetary loss, which\nit contends is defined by the title policy as the difference between the value of the\ntitle without the drainage easement and the value of the title subject to the drainage\neasement. Defendant thereafter obtained a diminution in value appraisal and\nprovided a copy of it to Plaintiff. However, the appraisal grossly underestimated the\ndiminution in value of the property caused by the drainage easement; and Defendant\nsince has failed, despite a written, time-limited demand from Plaintiff, to pay the\n\nactual diminution in value of the property caused by that easement.\n\nDefendant has refused to honor its obligations pursuant to the title policy and\nhas breached its contract with Plaintiff. Plaintiff is entitled to a judgment against\nDefendant for breach of contract and damages for the actual diminution in value of\nPlaintiff\u2019s property caused by the Georgia State Highway Department drainage\n\n\u2018easement.\n\fCase 1:26-cv-00765-WMR Documenti1-1 Filed 02/10/26 Page 6 of 25\n\nIn addition to breaching its contract with Plaintiff, Defendant\u2019s refusal to pay\nthe loss covered by the title policy was in bad faith. More than sixty days have\npassed since Plaintiff's demand for payment was made, and Defendant is liable to\nPlaintiff, in addition to the damages stated above, for bad faith damages of not more\nthan fifty percent of the liability of the insurer for the loss or $5,000.00, whichever\nis greater, and all reasonable attorney's fees for the prosecution of the action against\n\nthe insurer, pursuant to O.C.G.A, \u00a7 33-4-6.\n\nWHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands:\n\n(a) that a summons be issued requiring Defendant to answer this complaint\nwithin the time permitted by law;\n\n(b) that process be served on Defendant in a manner authorized by law;\n\n(c) trial by jury;\n\n(d) a judgment against Defendant for such sum as may be established by the\nevidence;\n\n(e) ajudgment against Defendant for bad faith damages, pursuant to O.C.G.A.\n\u00a7 33-4-6;\n\n(f) a judgment for the costs of this action; and\n\n(g) such additional relief as may be appropriate.\n\fCase 1:26-cv-00765-WMR Documenti-1 _ Filed 02/10/26 Page 7 of 25\n\nAusband & Dumont\n\n825 Fairways Court, Suite 300\nStockbridge, GA 30281\n\n(678) 593-3000\nandyausband@ausbandlaw.com\n\nRespectfully submitted,\n\n/s/Andrew C.

The\nCompany previously rendered a coverage determination on the original claim submitted by\nInsured by letter dated October 20, 2022 (the \u201cPrior Coverage Determination\u201d), The Company\nadopts, for purposes of this letter, the facts and definitions set forth in the Prior Coverage\nDetermination (to the extent applicable to the supplemental claim) in this letter. As discussed\nbelow, the Company has determined that coverage is afforded for the supplemental claim subject\nto the terms and conditions of the above-referenced policy.\n\nInsured has submitted the supplemental claim due to an unexcepted easement for drainage\nrecorded in Deed Book 260, page 402, of the official records of Gwinnett County, Georgia. This\neasement encumbers a portion of the Property, but does not appear to be connected to the pipe\nthat is the subject of the prior claim by the Insured.\n\nThe Company has determined that the supplemental claim falls within the Policy\u2019s insuring\nprovisions. Please note that the Company has options to resolve the supplemental clatm under\nthe Policy. Those options include, but are not limited to, the option to pay or tender the amount\nof insurance or to pay or settle with either the insured or a third party. In that regard, I direct\nyour attention to Paragraph 8(a) of the Policy\u2019s Conditions, which states:\n\nCONDITIONS\n\n8 DETERMINATION AND EXTENT OF LIABILITY\nThis policy is a contract of indemnity against actual monetary loss or\ndamage sustained or incurred by the Insured Claimant who has suffered loss\nor damage by reason of matters insured against by this policy.\n\n7650 W Courtney Campbell Cwy, Ste. 1150, Tampa, FL 33607\nvet 813-466-3872 * rax 866-253-3607\n\nww. firstam,com\n\fCase 1:26-cv-00765-WMR Documenti-1 Filed 02/10/26 Page 25 of 25\n\n(a) The extent of liability of the Company for loss or damage under this\npolicy shall not exceed the lesser of\n\n(i) the Amount of Insurance; or,\n\n(ti) the difference between the value of the Title as insured and the value of\nthe Title subject to the risk insured against by this policy.\n\nAccordingly, the Company will begin the process of determining the difference between the\nvalue of the title to the Property, as insured, and the value of the title to the Property subject to\nthe easement. Additionally, the Company may take any action it deems appropriate to resolve\nthe claim in order to reduce Joss or damage. The Company shall have the right, at its own cost,\nto institute and prosecute any action or proceeding or to do any other act that, in its opinion, may\nbe necessary or desirable to establish the title, as insured, or to prevent or reduce loss or damage\nto you.\n\nPlease be advised that the Company may continue its independent investigation of this matter\nand maintains the right to assert any defense, including a defense that is not apparent at this time\nand becomes apparent during its continuing investigation of the above-referenced claim.
