Sosa v. Chase Manhattan Mortgage Corporation

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that plaintiffs failed to state claim under Section 8 of RESPA where they failed to provide factual allegations regarding creditor’s accepting real estate settlement charge other than for services actually performed
• interpreting as disjunctive the phrase “[n]o person shall give and no person shall accept any portion” because “[e]xtending liability only if there were both a culpable giver and acceptor of an unearned fee would lead to irrational results”
• “Through its agents, therefore, Chase performed the deliveries that were the subject of the [messenger] charges.”
