The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday vacated its prior decision and ordered a rehearing of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company vs. Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME) Inc., a redlining suit.

In mid-January, the court had ruled in favor of Nationwide, saying HOME, a housing advocacy group, lacked standing to bring suit. The court reportedly did not give a reason for its most recent decision.

Following the January decision, Galen Barnes, Nationwide‘s president and chief operating officer, said in a prepared statement, "It is our desire to work with Housing Opportunities Made Equal (HOME) on our common agenda of enhancing urban market opportunities and making sure insurance products are accessible to urban residents."
