Thanks to my student Brady Robison who alerted me to a suit brought by influencers against Honey, an extension that PayPal bought for $4 billion so that it can better track you and data mine you. They allege that it also steals commissions from them.

US District Judge Brian Murphy in Boston last month had issued an order that temporarily blocked the #Trump admin from fast-tracking #deportations, hobbling its ability to remove migrants subject to final orders who in some cases have legal protections preventing them from being sent back to their countries of origin.
The preliminary #injunction issued Friday will keep that order in place until the #litigation is resolved.
The Chicago Cubs enjoyed a pre-season win. It was in a court rather than on the field, but it’s the Cubs, so we’ll take the W. They are tangling with one of the owners of a rooftop-seating business. All others renewed the licensing agreement.
For some reason, there is a line of cases about the duty of good faith under UCC § 2-305 involving the prices gas stations pay their suppliers. Today we report on a new that explains the good faith safe harbor nicely.
Byron Allen’s claims against McDonald’s for discrimination against Black-owned networks in its placement of advertising survives a motion for summary judgment, just barely alleging a claim and just barely overcoming McDonald’s attempts to justify its ad strategies.

Many lawyers who argue for #Trump at #SCOTUS are heading for the exit
At least half of the front-line lawyers in #SolicitorGeneral’s office, the elite #DOJ office that represents the Trump admin at the Supreme Court, are preparing to leave or have already announced their departures — an unusually high amount of turnover at a time of intense #litigation involving Trump’s initiatives & as his emergency requests pile up at the high court.

Ontario will be doing away with examinations for discovery in litigation.
Hurrah, because it is a waste of time and money in most cases. Let's get to trial ASAP, if the case cannot settle.
NY’s Court of Appeals sends a claim subject to a default judgment to arbitration because, although Uber failed to answer the complaint, it did update its terms of service and provided that its arbitration clause applies to pending claims.

From time to time, we bring you news from the world of COVID-related business interruption insurance claims (don’t tell my 18-year-old self that this is how I spend my time). They are rarely wins, and this one is a two-time loser.
A district court judge had blocked the #Education Dept from canceling more than 100 grants that funded 2 programs— #Teacher Quality Partnership & Supporting Effective Educator Development—while #litigation challenging the decision continued. Chief Justice #JohnRoberts & #SCOTUS’ 3 liberal justices said they would have denied #Trump’s request to intervene in the case.…
Remember when #Trump told people that they’d get tired of winning once he was in office? If you are a Trump Admin lawyer, it surely doesn’t feel that way. Based on the #litigation tracker compiled by #JustSecurity, the admin…has lost in 36 of 56 cases decided so far in the federal district courts & not yet subject to appellate rulings. It has lost in 10 of 15 cases that have been decided at the next level of review, the federal circuit courts of appeals.

Relying on recent SCOTUS precedent, 10th Circuit upholds ruling that a baked-goods distributor works in interstate commerce and is thus exempt from the Federal Arbitration Act and that allowing for state arbitration would be “inconsistent” with that act. Zounds.

"A musical style, defined by plaintiffs as 'pop with a disco feel,' and a musical function, defined by plaintiffs to include 'entertainment and dancing'," cannot possibly be protectable," Justice Failla wrote.
To hold otherwise, she said, would "completely foreclose the further development of music in that genre or for that purpose."
