United States v. Bormes • [full text]
|
568 U.S. 6, 7–16 (2012)
|
Fair Credit Reporting Act • Little Tucker Act • waiver of sovereign immunity
|
Unanimous
|
|
| Scalia's unanimous opinion for the Court held that the Little Tucker Act had no applicability to claims brought under the FCRA. The purpose of the Little Tucker Act was to provide judicial remedies for claims against the federal government that were authorized by statutes that did not provide a method for enforcement. As such, it is a gap-filling statute, and so the Court ruled that its provisions do not apply when another statute itself sets forth the conditions by which it is to be enforced, as the FCRA does.
