With the issuance in October 2023 of a wide-ranging executive order on artificial intelligence, the Biden administration took its most significant action to date toward oversight of the development and use of AI technologies. In the absence of Congressional action in this area, the order represents a step toward laying the groundwork for future federal regulatory action by a broad swath of agencies and departments.

On Jan. 16, 2024, the Supreme Court heard 'MacQuarie Infrastructure Corp. v. Moab Partners L.P.', which will presumably resolve a circuit split. The question before the court is whether the Second Circuit erred in holding "that a failure to make a disclosure required under Item 303 of SEC Regulation S-K can support a private claim under §10(b) of the Exchange Act, even in the absence of an otherwise misleading statement."

United States' to determine whether a district court may enter a preliminary order of forfeiture divesting a defendant of his or her property outside the time limits set forth in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Judgment creditors frequently encounter difficulties enforcing their judgments against debtors, particularly those in distressed circumstances. A recent decision by the Court of Appeals of Ohio in 'Wulco v. The O'Gara Group & Monroe Capital Partners Fund' involved a battle between a judgment creditor and a UCC secured creditor, each seeking to obtain funds in a debtor's bank account. The court examined not only the relative rights of the creditors as to those funds, but also whether a court clerk to whom the funds were transferred (as part of garnishment proceedings) could be a "transferee" under Section 9-332 of the Uniform Commercial Code, thereby stripping away any prior security interest.

Distress investors ought to take heed from the analysis set forth in 'In re Golden Seahorse.' The Bankruptcy Court for the United States Southern District of New York confronted a legacy of divergent cases, arguments among commentators and a somewhat ambiguous legislative history on the issue of cure requirements for reinstatement of a loan with favorable terms to its prepetition status

'Hyatt Hotels v. Commissioner' underscores that even an approach to accounting for income and expenses that has been applied consistently by a taxpayer over many years is not necessarily a "method of accounting" subject to the government's broad power to impose adjustments under Section 481(a).
