Justices Reject Relaxed “Catchall” Standard for Reopening a Final Judgment

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b) lists five specific reasons for which a court might reopen a judgment once it becomes final on appeal. It then closes with a catchall in Rule 60(b)(6) that authorizes reopening for “any other reason that justifies relief.” The court’s ruling in BLOM Bank SAL v.

As my story on the oral argument in March explained, nobody was willing to defend the standard adopted by the court of appeals. So a succinct and unanimous opinion from Justice Samuel Alito reversing the lower court is just what you would expect. The case involves the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, adopted in 1976 to provide a comprehensive statutor…United States · United States Read Article

The problem is that the district court at different points approved two different cla…US Supreme Court · United States See the Story
