J. Pittman finds that the United States Chamber of Commerce is entitled to a preliminary injunction in suit against the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over a rulemaking that would limit credit card payment late fees.

In consideration of the Fifth Circuit ruling, there is sufficient likelihood that the chamber of commerce shall succeed, so the injunction is granted, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s regulation amendment is stayed.
