In an article for the Daily Journal, litigation & enforcement counsel Ryan Weinstein discussed the implications of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling in SEC v. Jarkesy.
“Jarkesy will have far-reaching implications not just for the SEC, but for any agency using its administrative rousts to impose civil penalties for fraud or other causes of action with common-law antecedents,” said Ryan.
“Courts had broadly construed the public rights exception to include most civil cases arising between private individuals and the government,” Ryan added. “But Jarkesy puts an end to all that by putting tight limits on the public rights exception.”
