In a 6-3 decision handed down on June 28, 2024, the Supreme Court reversed the Chevron doctrine, a decades-old precedent. The bottom line going forward is that courts, not agencies, have the final say in interpreting statutes.

During its 2023–2024 term, the US Supreme Court issued a number of rulings with major implications for businesses, especially those in regulated industries. The Court’s decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, decisively overruling the Chevron deference doctrine, stood out, grabbing headlines and warranting careful examination. But Loper Bright was not the Court’s only important regulatory ruling this term. Indeed, it was one of several decisions that, taken together, promise to reshape the regulatory landscape and invite challenges to federal agency actions. Plus, rulings on a range of other issues – from arbitration to whistleblower retaliation claims – warrant the attention of in-house counsel. Below we summarize some of the Court’s key business decisions and preview what’s ahead. https://lnkd.in/eZnFYwQM

For nearly four decades, the Chevron deference has been a hallmark of administrative law. This doctrine, under which federal courts defer to an agency’s interpretation of an ambiguous statute that the agency is charged with administering, has been criticized as an insurmountable obstacle to those wishing to challenge an agency action. Two forthcoming decisions, Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless Inc. v. Department of Commerce, will be argued on January 17, 2024, potentially providing avenues for the Supreme to walk back or even eliminate the doctrine.

In an article published by Bloomberg Law, Gary Feldon, Matt Malinowski, and Sebastian Ovalle analyze impact of the Loper Bright ruling, saying that ending Chevron deference also could end Auer deference. The coming days will bring new opportunities to shape the regulatory landscape for businesses and individuals who can clear the APA’s many procedural hurdles, and Hollingsworth LLP is excited to see what this post-Chevron world will bring. #chevron #loperbright #auer #scotus #LitigationMatters 

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.
