The Supreme Court’s 2023 Term included a number of high profile and significant decisions in several areas of the law. Most notably, in the area of administrative law, the Court issued three decisions that may have major implications going forward. And in a closely watched case involving former President Trump, the Court for the first time afforded former Presidents at least partial immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts undertaken during office. In other areas of law, however, the Court was more restrained. Its decisions on arbitration, bankruptcy, and standing largely hewed to existing precedent, resolving relatively nuanced issues of disagreement among the lower courts and/or deferring difficult merits issues for later resolution. In this SCOTUS Term in Review, Joshua Wesneski, Aaron Curtis, Brian Liegel, Mark Pinkert, Crystal Weeks, Shai Berman, Daniel Lifton and Jacob Altik summarize and analyze the cases that are most germane to our clients’ businesses: https://lnkd.in/g7nnk9CD

Last week saw what was reportedly the world’s biggest IT outage following a software update issued by a cybersecurity firm, triggering for some organizations reporting obligations under the UK Network and Information Systems Regulations 2018 or other EU Network and Information Security Directive implementing laws. However such reporting would likely pale in comparison to the volume and complexity of reporting that would have taken place had such an event occurred if rules under EU Network and Information Security 2 Directive (NISD2) and the EU Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) applied – which will be later this year (the implementation deadline for NISD2 for Member States being October 17, 2024) and January 17, 2025, respectively. The King’s Speech in the UK also saw the announcement of the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, adding yet another string to the cybersecurity bow. This highlights the importance of organizations being prepared and having in place tested incident reporting plans and processes, and the right support from external counsel, in order to meet the required (increasingly short) reporting timeframes, both in the event of a similar incident or those brought about by bad actors. We wrote an article on this in April, read Navigating Cybersecurity Obligations in the EU and the UK by Barry Fishley and Chloe Kite: https://lnkd.in/gs-y26qF
