A recent Court of Appeal decision may have been a victory for employers, but laws regarding the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) remain dynamic. The alleged class-wide violations of the case involve the employers “standalone” disclosure requirement and its denial of applicants based on information in their consumer reports without first providing the requisite pre-adverse action notice. The court granted summary judgement for the employer on both claims, concluding that any alleged violations were not “willful.”
