The Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently and explicitly recognized the tort of aiding and abetting fraud: Marion v. Bryn Mawr Trust Co, 288 A.3d 76 (Pa. 2023). This case is highly significant because it reflects the Supreme Court's recognition and approval of a new cause of action that allows victims of fraud to target deep pockets.
