The U.S. Supreme Court, oblivious to external events like blizzards or presidential elections, heard oral arguments Tuesday in a case that illustrates how the election’s outcome could affect the court’s future business law decisions.
At issue in the consolidated cases Bank of America v. Miami and Wells Fargo v. Miami is a threshold question of standing, which does not often make headlines but is a crucial factor in gaining access to the courts for plaintiffs seeking redress from corporations. Recent court decisions on standing have been a target for critics who say the Roberts court leans too far toward business interests.
