U.S. Chamber urges review of D.C. Circuit decision, which would dramatically restrict businesses' access to federal courts
March 29, 2013
NCLC urged the Supreme Court to review and reverse a decision by the D.C. Circuit on Article III standing, which threatens to erode effective judicial review of agency regulation. NCLC argued in its amicus brief that agency review in the D.C. Circuit is critical because the D.C. Circuit has exclusive jurisdiction over many agency appeals, and is the preferred court for resolution of many cases appealed from agencies to the federal courts of appeals. Additionally, NCLC argued that the D.C. Circuit's decision on prudential standing also warrants review because it would allow resolution of a circuit conflict on whether prudential standing is jurisdictional and would provide clarification of the proper scope and use of prudential standing.
