🌐 Supreme Court Rulings Impacting Administrative Law: Key Implications The Supreme Court recently issued two significant rulings that reshape administrative law, affecting sectors like Customs and International Trade. 1️⃣ SEC v. Jarkesy: In a 6-3 decision, the Court upheld the Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial, ruling against the SEC's use of in-house tribunals for civil penalties. This impacts how agencies like U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) conduct enforcement actions. 2️⃣ Overturning Chevron Deference: In another 6-3 decision, the Court limited the executive branch's ability to interpret laws, overturning the 40-year-old Chevron deference doctrine. Chief Justice Roberts stressed that courts, not agencies, should resolve statutory ambiguities. This ruling increases judicial scrutiny of federal agency actions, affecting regulatory enforcement in areas such as Customs and International Trade. #CustomsLaw #InternationalTrade #SCOTUS #AdministrativeLaw #LegalNews

"While import laws could assist in preventing goods made with forced labour from entering the UK, country-specific bans have significant foreign policy implications. However, without any consideration of import laws, the UK risks becoming a dumping ground for tainted products." Is a forced labour import ban similar to the UFLPA, or a broader human rights due diligence law, similar to that of the EU CSDDD, on the horizon in the UK? 🤔
