A federal appeals court has rendered its decision about whether to continue to delaying the implementation of the loan originator compensation rule while mortgage brokers battle it out with the Federal Reserve Board in federal court.
The decision came late Tuesday from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The court was considering an emergency motion filed by the National Association of Mortgage Brokers and the National Association of Independent Housing Professionals Inc.
Both groups are likely to be sorely disappointed with today’s decision from the three circuit court judges.
“It is ordered that the administrative stay entered on March 31, 2011, be dissolved,” today’s order states.
In addition, the brokers’ motions were denied.
“Appellants have not satisfied the stringent standards required for a stay pending appeal,” the decision stated.
