Business Briefing.
WASHINGTON, July 8, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The national litigation boutique
MoloLamken LLP is pleased to announce the release of this year's
MoloLamken Supreme Court Business Briefing. This is the fourteenth
year the firm has published its summary of the decisions from the
U.S. Supreme Court that have the greatest relevance to
business.
"The Supreme Court's business docket was groundbreaking this
Term," noted MoloLamken partner Robert
Kry. "The Court issued major decisions on administrative
law, bankruptcy, and other topics affecting business," added
Michael Pattillo, another firm
partner.
The Supreme Court issued a pair of major decisions on the
authority of administrative agencies. In one, the Court overruled
the forty-year-old Chevron doctrine that required courts to defer
to reasonable agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes. In the
other, the Court held that the Seventh Amendment right to a jury
trial precludes the SEC from enforcing securities
fraud statutes by seeking civil penalties in its own
in-house tribunals rather than in federal courts.
The Court also issued its most important bankruptcy decision in
years, holding that Purdue's
reorganization plan could not grant releases to third parties who
had not subjected their own assets to the bankruptcy process. That
ruling eliminates an approach that many parties had used in recent
years to resolve high-profile bankruptcies.
The Supreme Court also addressed a number of other significant
issues affecting business this Term. The Court weighed in on the
rights of social media companies like Facebook and YouTube to make
content moderation decisions, holding that they have a First
Amendment right to make editorial judgments about the content on
their platforms. The Court lowered the bar for employees to pursue
Title VII discrimination claims, allowing suits to proceed even
when the tangible impact of an employment action is modest. And the
Court ruled that investors seeking to hold a defendant liable for
omissions may have to show that the omissions rendered other
statements misleading.
The MoloLamken Supreme Court Business Briefing has been widely
praised in both the business and legal communities for its clarity
and insight. To read this year's edition, please click here. If you
