Federal District Court Issues Nationwide Injunction Against Enforcement of the CTA: Yesterday afternoon, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, in a case styled Texas Top Cop Shop, Inc. v. Garland, issued a preliminary injunction against the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (the “CTA”). Unlike the injunction issued in the National Small Business United decision, which injunction benefited only the members of that trade association, the injunction issued yesterday applies nationwide in favor of every company obligated to file beneficial ownership information reports with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”).
