This podcast is a follow-up to the denied motion in the Blatt, Hasenmiller, Leibsker & Moore, LLC, petition for certiorari filed with the United States Supreme Court in the case Oliva v. Blatt, Hasenmiller, Leibsker & Moore, LLC. The underlying case comes out of the 7th Circuit and presents two issues for the Court: (1) Whether good faith reliance on controlling circuit precedent, prior to any retroactive change in that law, is an unintentional “bona fide error” and a procedure “reasonably adapted to avoid error” within the meaning of the “bona fide error” defense in the FDCPA; and (2) whether the due process clause prohibits punishment for conduct that was lawful when committed, but later prohibited by a retroactive change of law.
