A federal judge on Monday dismissed a Bank of America lawsuit against the County of Maui, paving the way for the county to pursue possible claims against the banking giant over a decades-old $150 million home loan promise to Native Hawaiians and others that allegedly went unmet.
Pointing to the fact that the county hasn’t yet filed a lawsuit, U.S. District Court Judge J. Michael Seabright on Oahu granted the county’s motion to dismiss the Bank of America lawsuit during an online hearing Monday.
