Downfall of the Paralyzed Veterans Doctrine Grants Federal Agencies a “Dangerous Permission Slip for the Arrogation of Power” and Exposes the Regulated Community to Potentially Fatal Doses of Regulation Run Amok (a/k/a The Triple Whammy of Perez, Auer and Whitman)In the Spring of 2015, a troubling decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, Perez v. Mortgage Bankers Association,[1] stripped away the only practical protection available to the regulated community against the abusive regulatory agency practice of adopting ambiguous legislative rules and then re-interpreting them in almost whatever way the agency later deems appropriate.  Commentators hinted at the quagmire it might create for the regulated community.
