SCOTUS Leaves Multibillion-Dollar Boy Scouts Bankruptcy Settlement In Place

Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the unanimous opinion that reversed that decision

Justice Brett Kavanaugh, joined by Justice Samuel Alito, wrote separately to clarify the limits of the decision.

He also called the legal question close, writing that “the conflicting contextual considerations make this a close case as we determine how to construe and where to draw the line on the statutory phrase ‘with respect to motor vehicles. ’”

Kavanaugh added that responsible brokers should still be able to defend themselves

The Transportation Intermediaries Association criticized the ruling.

Chris Burroughs, the group’s president and CEO, said TIA was “deeply disappointed” and warned the decision places an “impossible task on brokers. ”

The second ruling came in Jules v

Andre Balazs Properties, an arbitration case involving a former employee of the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Los Angeles.

The ruling provides clarity for employers and workers by confirming that a federal court that sends a case to arbitration may also handle the result afterward.
