                                   CHAPTER 4. RATIFICATION

                  TOPIC   2. WHEN   AFFIRMANCE RESULTS IN RATIFICATION

   § 90. Affirmance of Demands  and Notifications

   C.A.9, 2016. Cit. in sup. and cit. in case cit. in sup. (general cite). The Consumer Financial Protection
   Bureau filed a civil enforcement action against attorney who operated a business that provided home-
   loan-modification services, alleging that defendant engaged in unfair and deceptive practices in violation
   of federal law by suggesting that his business was affiliated with the government. The district court
   granted summary judgment  for the Bureau, rejecting attorney's argument that the Bureau lacked
   authority to bring the action against him because its director at the time the action was filed had been
   unconstitutionally appointed. Affirming in part, this court held that, although the director's initial recess
   appointment was invalid, any initial constitutional deficiencies were cured by his subsequent valid
   confirmation, and his subsequent issuance of a notice of ratification for actions taken prior to the valid
   confirmation. The court noted that federal courts had applied the first Restatement of Agency in matters
   related to the Appointments Clause. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Gordon, 819 F.3d 1179,
   1191.



              CHAPTER 7. LIABILITY OF PRINCIPAL TO THIRD PERSON; TORTS

        TOPIC  2. LIABILITY   FOR  AUTHORIZED CONDUCT OR CONDUCT INCIDENTAL
                                             THERETO

                                  TITLE  B. TORTS   OF  SERVANTS

                                  SPECIFIC  TORTS   OF  SERVANTS

   § 247. Defamation

   D.Ariz.2015. Cit. in sup. Co-founder of a parent corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary filed a
   defamation claim against other co-founder, alleging that defendant made defamatory statements about
   plaintiff in a letter from subsidiary to its customers, in a letter from defendant's attorney, and in a letter
   from an employee of subsidiary to an employee of a hospital. This court granted defendant's motion for
   summary  judgment, holding that plaintiff failed to state a viable claim for defamation against defendant
   with respect to the statements made by the subsidiary, its employee, and defendant's attorney-none of
   whom   were defendants in this action. Although Restatement of Agency § 247 provided that a principal
   was potentially liable for defamatory statements made by his or her agents in certain circumstances,
   plaintiff failed to cite § 247 or to show that the predicates to liability under § 247 were present here.
   Wichansky  v. Zowine, 150 F.Supp.3d 1055, 1075.
