Second Circuit Review: Court Defines ‘Consumer Reporting Agency’ Under the FCRA

Litigation partner Martin Flumenbaum and firm chairman Brad Karp’s latest Second Circuit Review column, “Court Defines ‘Consumer Reporting Agency’ Under the FCRA,” appeared in the June 26 issue of the New York Law Journal. The authors discuss Kidd v. Thomson Reuters, where the court determined for the first time that an entity must specifically intend to furnish a “consumer report” to qualify as a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Litigation associate Bolutito Adewunmi assisted in the preparation of this article.
