11th Circuit: City Did Not Sustain Injury Over Bank’s Lending Practices

Mealey's (August 12, 2019, 9:22 AM EDT) -- ATLANTA — A three-judge panel of the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on July 30 vacated a federal judge in Florida’s ruling that the city of Miami Gardens failed to show that Wells Fargo & Co. and Wells Fargo Bank violated the Fair Housing Act by engaging in discriminatory lending practices in Latino and African-American neighborhoods and held that the city lacked standing to bring its suit because it did not have standing under Article III of the U.S. Constitution (City of Miami Gardens v. Wells Fargo & Co., et al., No. 18-13152, 11th Cir., 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 22570)....
