Bridge v. Phoenix Bond & Indemnity Co.
Supreme Court of the United States
Decided June 9, 2008No. 07-210PublishedCited by 785 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Thomas
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO or Act), 18 U. S. C. §§ 1961-1968, provides a private right of action for treble damages to “[a]ny person injured in his business or property by reason of a violation” of the Act’s criminal prohibitions. § 1964(c). The question presented in this case is whether a plaintiff asserting a RICO claim predi cated on mail fraud must plead and prove that it relied on the defendant’s alleged misrepresentations. Because we agree with the Court of Appeals that a showing of first-party reliance is not required, we affirm.
