In a 6-3 decision handed down on June 28, 2024, the Supreme Court reversed the Chevron doctrine, a decades-old precedent.

The federal courts deference to government agencies expertise and discretion (called Chevron deference) may well be at an end. Wednesday's oral arguments on January 17, 2024, before the United States Supreme Court in Loper Bright Enterprises, Inc. v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. Department of Commerce appear to signal that Chevron may well be on the chopping block.

On June 28, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Chevron deference in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, shifting the power to interpret ambiguous statutes from federal agencies to the judiciary. This ruling eliminates the precedent requiring courts to defer to agency interpretations, potentially leading to increased litigation and regulatory uncertainty (Ropes & Gray LLP) (The CommLaw Group).

Webinar on what comes next after Chevron -- tomorrow! Highly recommended!

Is so-called "Chevron Deference" on the chopping block? 2 cases before the #supremecourt will be heard on Wednesday that could reshape regulatory power by limiting or reversing the influential 1984 case of Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council. The 1984 Chevron decision stands for the proposition that judges should defer to federal agency interpretations of any ambiguities in the laws they are charged to implement, so long as such interpretations are "reasonable" under the circumstances. Some legal observers have long argued that Chevron Deference has led to unreasonable overreach by federal agencies and that #congress alone should fill in the gaps in #legislation #federallaw The Wall Street Journal has gone so far as to editorialize that this "judicial doctrine has become a license for regulators to grab power from Congress." #regulatorycompliance #regulators The cases are Loper Bright Enterprises, Inc., v. Raimondo and Relentless, Inc. v. Dept. of Commerce.
