Leibowitz on Trade: Supreme Court Declines Case Challenging Section 232—For Now

Trade attorney and Steel Market Update contributor Lewis Leibowitz offers the following update on events in Washington:

The lawsuit filed almost exactly one year ago challenging Section 232 has been turned down by the Supreme Court. AIIS and the other plaintiffs in the case, which was decided in favor of the government last March, asked the Supreme Court to grant an extraordinary petition to take the case before the normally required appellate review (in this case, by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit). Without comment, the Supreme Court denied the petition yesterday.

Section 232
