Maurice Wutscher’s Donald Maurice Discusses Fifth Circuit Ruling on CFPB Funding in Westlaw Today
Nov. 4, 2022 — Maurice Wutscher attorney Donald Maurice has published an article, “After Fifth Circuit Ruling Get Ready for More Challenges to CFPB Authority, Is Reg F Next?,” on Thomson Reuters Westlaw Today.
In the article, Mr. Maurice discusses an important decision from the Fifth Circuit, Community Financial Association of America v. CFPB, which has cast doubt on the validity of the CFPB’s rulemaking and enforcement activities.
“The ruling poses a difficult challenge for the CFPB. Unlike the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Seila Law, no easy fix may be available to preserve CFPB activity undertaken during the period of unconstitutional funding, at least in the Fifth Circuit. The decision’s reasoning suggests it is not at all possible to “sever” the funding scheme as a possible fix that would preserve the Bureau’s prior activities,” he writes.
