§ 14751 Credit Union Officer Liability

This law makes certain credit union workers personally responsible for any debt they create that breaks a specific rule, and they can't use the rule's illegality as an excuse.

Key Takeaways

  • •Workers can be held personally liable for illegal obligations.
  • •The credit union can recover the full amount owed.
  • •Illegality of the rule is not a defense.

Example

A loan officer at a credit union approves a loan that violates a rule, causing the credit union to lose money.

The credit union can sue the officer for the full loan amount, and the officer cannot claim the rule was illegal to avoid paying.

§ 14751 Credit Union Officer Liability

Any officer, director, member of a committee, credit manager, or loan officer appointed pursuant to Section 14602 who violates Section 14750 is primarily liable to the credit union for the amount of any obligation that was created in violation of Section 14750. The illegality of the creation of the obligation is no defense in an action by the credit union to recover any amounts owing as a result of any obligation created in violation of Section 14750. (Amended by Stats. 1984, Ch. 789, Sec. 7.)
