U.S. Chamber urges Supreme Court to review meaning of “enterprise” under RICO

January 22, 2007

NCLC urged the Supreme Court to grant review to consider whether a corporation can form an “enterprise” under the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) where the alleged combination exists solely of the corporation itself and its third party recruiters. In its brief, NCLC argued that the statute’s plain language does not bear such a result and that treble damages liability should not be available where the corporation is merely using third party agents to perform integral corporate functions.
