Practical Guidance published Morgan Lewis’s LawFlash regarding the US Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo and Relentless v. Department of Commerce, which overruled the Chevron doctrine requiring federal courts to defer to administrative agencies’ interpretations of ambiguous or broad statutes.
The article provides background on the doctrine, an overview of the ruling, and notes that organizations that are subject to federal regulation may see opportunities to raise new or enhanced arguments at various stages of administrative proceedings to support or oppose an agency’s interpretation, as well as new proactive challenges to existing agency rules or standards.
