Fifth Circuit Finds CFPB Funding Unconstitutional — Potential Implications


1 hour watch | October.24.2022

The Fifth Circuit ruled that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s funding structure is unconstitutional, triggering a potential wave of implications. Is the CFPB’s existence in jeopardy? What does this mean for pending examinations and enforcement actions? Can companies still rely on various safe harbors offered by the bureau? Will the CFPB seek en banc review or petition for a Supreme Court review? John Coleman, Marshall Bell, and Jeff Naimon discussed how this ruling affects the financial services industry and what we can expect to see both in the short and long term.
