Abstract:
The rushed roll out of the PPP and the size of the program have led to litigation across the country, mainly in two categories: agents seeking fees for assisting businesses that applied for PPP loans and unsuccessful applicants for loans. The authors review this litigation, describing the claims made by plaintiffs and the negative district court responses in the two cases that have been decided so far.Keywords: Paycheck Protection Program; Agent-Fee Cases; Unsuccessful Applicant Actions
