No cause of action, no RICO cause of action

The plaintiff in Arruda v. Curves Int’l alleged that violations of the Franchise Rule were RICO predicate acts, but the Fifth Circuit disagreed: “Congress’s omission of a private right of action in the [Federal Trade Commission Act] controls. A violation of the Franchise Rule does not itself constitute a predicate act of mail or wire fraud to support a RICO claim.” The Court cited D.C. Circuit opinion about the Service Contract Act that asked the cogent question: “If there is no implied cause of action for damages, how much the less for treble damages?” No. 20-50734 (June 28, 2021) (unpublished).

The post No cause of action, no RICO cause of action appeared first on 600 Camp.
