Ford Motor Credit Co. v. Milhollin

Supreme Court of the United States

Decided February 20, 1980No. 78-1487PublishedCited by 888 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Brennan

The issue for decision in this case is whether the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), 82 Stat. 146, as amended, 16 U. S. C. § 1601 et seq., requires that the existence of an acceleration clause always be disclosed on the face of a credit agreement. The Federal Reserve Board staff has consistently construed the statute and regulations as imposing no such uniform requirement. Because we believe that a high degree of deference to this administrative interpretation is warranted, we hold that TILA does not mandate a general rule of disclosure for acceleration clauses.
