This compact desk reference provides expert guidance for both lender and borrower on the theory and practice of lender liability law. Coverage of both lender liability prevention issues and litigation includes the following topics:

  • excessive control of the borrower's business and how to avoid it;
  • federal tax liability;
  • "bad faith" actions;
  • environmental liability concerns;
  • lender's actions which may give rise to a civil RICO claim;
  • bankruptcy considerations;
  • pretrial litigation issues; and
  • alternative dispute resolution.

    The text includes discussions of relevant case law and statutes, as well as practical hints on how to apply the law in day-to-day transactions.

    Chapter 23, "Lender Liability Issues Related to Subprime Lending" addresses special considerations for lenders that engage in subprime lending activities related to mortgages, credit cards, payday advances and title loans. It describes the characteristics of the subprime lending market, and the risks and restraints for lenders. Specifically, it details regulatory guidance that, while targeted at financial depository institution lenders, has been adopted in large part by states.

    First published in 1989.

    Two volumes; updated with revisions.
