Dodd-Frank

The agency will review the TRID regulation, which combined disclosure requirements of two separate laws, as part of a mandate to evaluate major policies five years after their effective date.

At a forum convened by the CFPB, several bank and fintech executives argued that long-delayed rules required under the Dodd-Frank Act can help fight discrimination and shine a light on unsavory practices in the market for small-business credit.

The Supreme Court is ready to weigh in on the CFPB’s leadership structure, but both agencies are facing similar constitutional challenges, suggesting a broader impact of any decision.

The high court will decide how much latitude a president has to fire the director of an independent agency.

A list of upcoming cases published by the high court did not include a challenge to the bureau's constitutionality, but the justices could still decide to review it at a later date.

The two Democrats waded into a court battle over the president's ability to fire a director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

By declaring that she has too much statutory power, the agency’s director has potentially opened a floodgate of litigation.

If the court agrees to hear the case, its conservative majority could make it easier for a president to fire a CFPB director, though other outcomes are possible.

The agency's director told congressional leaders and staff that she backs a Supreme Court challenge to the bureau's leadership structure.

The Supreme Court may be closer to examining a key restraint on a president's ability to change CFPB leadership.
