Judge Agrees to Delay Ruling on Debit-Card Fees

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon, in a court filing, said he agreed to the Fed’s request to grant a delay until an appeals court rules on the case. Judge Leon’s decision means fees will remain at existing levels while the court considers the Fed’s challenge.

The U.S. Court of Appeals signaled it wanted to move quickly to consider the case: A schedule filed this week requires the Fed and others involved in the case to file a series of briefs by early December.
