Delaware v. Pennsylvania

09/12/23 • 35 min

This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's February 28, 2023, opinion in Delaware v. Pennsylvania.
Summary: State governments disagreed about the application of escheatment laws and the federal Disposition of Abandoned Money Orders and Traveler's Checks Act (FDA) to financial products sold by banks (Agent Checks and Teller's Checks). SCOTUS, exercising original jurisdiction, held that the instruments at issue were sufficiently similar to Money Orders and, thus, their disposition was governed by the FDA.

Bittner v. United States

This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's February 28, 2023, opinion in Bittner v. United States.

Summary: The Government fined an individual $2.72 million for failing to file timely reports disclosing 272 foreign accounts as required by the Bank Secrecy Act. The individual challenged the fine, arguing that it should have been calculated based on the number of untimely reports, not the number of accounts involved. SCOTUS held that under the Act, the maximum penalty for a nonwillful failure to file a report accrues on a per-report, not a per-account, basis.

Luna Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools

This episode of MACREADS.COM covers the United States Supreme Court's March 21, 2023, opinion in Perez v. Sturgis Public Schools.
Summary: A deaf student argued that his school district violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) by failing to accommodate his disability in public school and preventing him from graduating. The school district successfully moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground that the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) required the student to first exhaust administrative procedures under that statute before suing under the ADA for compensatory damages. SCOTUS held that the student was not required to exhaust administrative procedures under the IDEA before filing suit for compensatory damages under the ADA.
