After Scathing Kagan Dissent, Experts Warn of Fallout from Chevron Overturn

Kevin King’s commentary was included in a Courthouse News Service article about how the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of the Chevron doctrine opens the window for an increase in litigation against federal rules, as well as a potential chill on new ones.

Kevin said the ruling could impact how businesses calculate risk when considering how to comply with agency regulations: “Now that courts are no longer required to defer to agencies, it is more likely that courts will reach differing and sometimes incompatible conclusions about what federal statutes mean — leaving businesses exposed to a patchwork of interpretations that may be difficult to manage at times.”
