DOJ can reopen NAR antitrust probe: appeals court
“The National Association of Realtors is officially back in the federal spotlight.
The Department of Justice can reopen its antitrust investigation into the trade group’s policies, according to a ruling in a Washington D.C. federal appeals court on Friday.
In a 2-to-1 vote, judges rejected the organization’s request to uphold a settlement reached with former President Donald Trump’s administration in 2020, in which the federal agency agreed to end its investigation into the 1.5-million-member trade group.
The DOJ withdrew from the settlement under President Joe Biden. In June, the agency filed an appeal brief disputing a district court ruling that said NAR was released from any obligations included in the settlement while the DOJ was barred from continuing its probe.”
“We discern no commitment by DOJ — express or implied — to refrain from either opening a new investigation or reopening its closed 12 investigation,” the decision reads.
