Post-Decision Chevron Discussion

Holland & Knight's Chevon Deference Working Team hosted a webinar delving into the intricacies of the Loper and Corner Post cases recently decided by the U.S. Supreme Court and the impacts on the federal rulemaking process and the legislative process in the U.S. Congress.

The Loper ruling, which overturned the Chevron deference doctrine, marks a fundamental shift in administrative law and will have far-reaching implications across the federal government. Meanwhile, Corner Post opened up the statute of limitations to permit regulated parties to sue anytime within six years after a regulation adversely affects them, regardless of when the regulation was promulgated. Together, these developments likely will mean more challenges to agency rulemaking and greater opportunity to prevail in challenges to questionable agency interpretations.
