Federal Judge Considers Legal Protections in Uber's RICO Suit Against Philly Injury Firm
• Filed
In this case, Uber has filed a civil racketeering (RICO) lawsuit against a Philadelphia personal injury law firm, accusing the firm of engaging in a scheme to artificially inflate the value of injury claims against Uber. The law firm has responded by asserting that it is protected from such civil racketeering claims under a legal doctrine that shields the filing of litigation, even when allegations of fraud are involved. A federal judge is currently considering whether this litigation privilege applies and thus bars Uber's RICO claims against the injury firm. The case raises important questions about the extent to which legal protections for filing lawsuits can be invoked as a defense against allegations of fraudulent conduct within the litigation process. The outcome will have implications for how aggressively companies like Uber can pursue racketeering claims against law firms and other parties they believe are abusing the legal system through inflated or fraudulent claims.

Justices to hear argument on right to jury trial in FCC proceedings
• Filed
The Supreme Court is set to hear arguments regarding whether individuals and companies have a constitutional right to a jury trial in administrative proceedings conducted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This issue arises under the Seventh Amendment, which guarantees a jury trial in suits at common law seeking legal remedies, such as monetary damages. The Court previously addressed a similar question in Jarkesy v. Securities and Exchange Commission, where it held that the SEC’s administrative imposition of fines for securities fraud violated the right to a jury trial. The current case involves FCC enforcement actions against AT&T and Verizon, where the agency imposed fines for alleged violations of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, specifically concerning the protection of confidential customer location data.
