In this episode of The Consumer Finance Podcast, Chris Willis is joined by Partners David Anthony and David Dove to discuss the potential implications of the Supreme Court overruling the Chevron case. This case established the principle of deferring to agency interpretations of statutes they administer. While some industry insiders may view the potential overruling as beneficial, the discussion highlights the potential for increased unpredictability and instability. The guests emphasize the importance of vigilance, strategic planning, and the engagement of experienced legal counsel to navigate potential challenges and optimize business opportunities.
