- Excerpt from Dodd-Frank Challenges Under the Administrative Procedure Act and Commodity Exchange Act:
The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia recently held that the Commodity Futures Trading Commision (“CFTC”) followed the proper procedures in approving rules that regulate registered investment companies (“RICs”) under the Dodd-Frank Act.
Plaintiffs Investment Company Institute and Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America filed suit against the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) under the Administrative Procedure Act (“APA”) and Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). Specifically, Plaintiffs challenged amendments to 17 C.F.R. §§ 4.5 and 4.27, which extend the CFTC’s regulation to RICs pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act. Plaintiffs and the CFTC filed cross-motions for summary judgment.
