On the last day of the 2023–24 term, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Corner Post, Inc. v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System—and held that a claim under the Administrative Procedure Act does not accrue for purposes of the six-year statute of limitations until the plaintiff is injured by final agency action. As a practical matter, this means that administrative agencies can be sued long after final agency rules take effect. In this client alert, we highlight several key areas that will be impacted as a result of the decision: https://lnkd.in/gbF4RMXe Authors: Michelle Kallen and Anand Viswanathan #SupremeCourt ##SOTUS #Chevron #ChevronDeference #CornerPost

Department of Commerce – by a 6-3 vote, the Court ended the 40-year-old Chevron doctrine. The Court’s decision is likely to have outsized effects in several key areas, each of which involves critical new agency rules of the Biden Administration.
