Banks & Banking – Usury Claim – Sustained Overdraft Fee – Civil Practice – Law of the Case Doctrine
By: Teresa Bruno, Opinions Editor//March 22, 2018
In a claim newly added to this multidistrict litigation, the court exercises its discretion to apply the law of the case doctrine and adheres to its ruling in the previously consolidated cases that a sustained overdraft fee – charged against a deposit account that stays overdrawn for 10 days – is a service charge and not interest. Therefore, the newly added plaintiff’s usury claim fails.
The court grants defendant’s motion to dismiss the usury claim.
