The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) extended the statute of limitations for businesses attempting to challenge some federal regulations, allowing regulated entities a longer timeline to appeal a decision.
In a 6-3 decision, issued Monday, SCOTUS opened the door to legal challenges to regulations long after those regulations take effect.
The case, Corner Post v. the Federal Reserve Board, centered on a challenge by a North Dakota truck stop that sued over a Fed regulation related to fees that merchants must pay banks for handling debit card transactions. The fee took effect in 2011; Corner Post did not open until 2018.
