Here is Beveridge & Diamond PC's concise take on several major Supreme decisions at the end of the 2023-24 term: Loper Bright (empowering judges to interpret federal law instead of deference to agencies), Jarkesy (expanding jury trial rights for defendants in government administrative enforcement actions), and Corner Post (six year statute of limitations to challenge a regulation runs when the regulated entity is harmed by the regulation, not when the regulation is enacted).

A Georgia federal court recently denied an injunction requiring $850 million in PFAS remediation, ruling the plaintiff failed to demonstrate concrete harm.
