Lawsuit Challenges HUD’s Use of Disparate Impact Liability under FHA

Two insurance industry groups are challenging HUD's rule adopted in February 2013 that formalized HUD's use of disparate impact liability under the FHA. The lawsuit submits that based on the FHA's plain language, the FHA only prohibits intentional discrimination. Plaintiffs in the Washington, D.C. federal district court have filed a motion for summary judgment. [2/6]
