Supp. 1426 (M.D. Ala. 1997), the court, on similar facts, denied the lender's motion for summary judgment motion for summary judgment n. a written request for a judgment in the moving party's favor before a lawsuit goes to trial and based on recorded (testimony outside court) affidavits (or declarations under penalty of perjury), depositions, admissions of fact, answers , finding that a YSP payment could be an illegal referral fee. It found that the payment was made only for the referral of a mortgage with an above market rate. The court also was unwilling to assume that the lender's payment of the YSP for releasing servicing rights to the loan was compensation for a good or service under RESPA. Id. at 1429-1431. In the first appellate case, Culpepper v. Inland Mortgage Corp., 132 F. 3d 692 (11th Cir. 1998), the court held that the payment of a YSP was illegal. The plaintiffs had approached Premiere Mortgage, a mortgage broker, to finance a home purchase. Premiere, in turn, received a quote from a lender, Inland Mortgage, of 7.5 percent which carried a YSP payment to Premiere of $1263.61. Premiere failed to disclose to the plaintiffs that Inland would make the same loan at 7.25 percent resulting in a YSP of only $97.20. Plaintiffs closed the loan at the 7.5 percent rate, paying an origination fee of $760.50 to Premiere. Inland, in turn, paid Premiere the YSP of $1263.61. Plaintiffs subsequently filed suit, challenging the legality of the YSP as violative of RESPA and not a valid payment for goods and services In economics, economic output is divided into physical goods and intangible services. Consumption of goods and services is assumed to produce utility (unless the "good" is a "bad"). It is often used when referring to a Goods and Services Tax. . The lower court granted summary judgment to the defendant, holding that the YSP payment was a legal payment for a good permitted by RESPA.[13] The appellate court A court having jurisdiction to review decisions of a trial-level or other lower court.

An unsuccessful party in a lawsuit must file an appeal with an appellate court in order to have the decision reviewed.  recognized, however, that the loan was a table-funded transaction whereby no "good" was ever purchased.[14] Inland owned the loan from the onset and never transferred ownership. The court found no evidence (or reasonable relationship) that the "payment of the YSP was tied to the quantity or quality of the services that Premiere provided. Rather the sole determinant determinant, a polynomial expression that is inherent in the entries of a square matrix. The size n of the square matrix, as determined from the number of entries in any row or column, is called the order of the determinant.  of whether a yield spread premium would be paid was the interest on the loan."[15] The only service furnished was the referral of an above market loan to Inland which violated RESPA. The court did state in a footnote that its holding was highly dependent on the facts of this case. There would have been a different ruling upon the showing of a direct relationship between the compensation and services provided.[16] The court reemphasized this point in denying the defendant's petition for rehearing rehearing n. conducting a hearing again based on the motion of one of the parties to a lawsuit, petition or criminal prosecution, usually by the court or agency which originally heard the matter. .[17]

Culpepper strengthens RESPA-related consumer demands for adequate disclosure in real estate transactions. Additional claims may include deceptive and unfair trade practices (F.S. [sections] 501.201), fraud, RICO RICO n. . , and truth-in-lending counts as well as violations of F.S. [sections] 494.001 et seq. regulating mortgage brokers. Subsection subsection

Are there easier methods for the practitioner to address YSP abuses short of filing a class action or waiting for the financial industry or HUD to provide a remedy? The best option thus far is recognizing YSPs pre-closing. Federal law provides for inspection of the closing statement prior to settlement.[18] Unfortunately, many attorneys prefer to wait until closing to inspect all documents.
