2016 · ruling
As CFPB Director, Cordray's single-director enforcement action against PHH Corp. (raising an initial $6 million fine to $109 million) was found by a D.C. Circuit panel to be an abuse of discretion; the same panel's ruling in PHH Corp. v. CFPB held the bureau's single-director structure unconstitutional.
