Koons Buick Pontiac Gmc, Inc. v. Nigh — Scalia, J., dissenting

Summary

Scalia, dissenting, agrees with the Court's construction of "subparagraph" as a third-level subdivision but argues the statutory damage cap exception in 15 U.S.C. § 1640(a)(2)(A) applies only to clause (ii) (leases), not clause (i) (finance charges). He critiques the Court's reliance on legislative history silence and argues the text is best read according to structural drafting canons.
