Case Summary Citation
Corner Post v. Board of Governors of Federal Reserve System, 144 S. Ct. 2440 (2024).
Abstract
Corner Post v. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System resolved a circuit split on when claims against the federal government “accrue” under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2401(a). The Supreme Court clarified whether plaintiffs must file challenges within six years of a regulation’s enactment or may wait until they are directly affected by an agency action, even if that occurs years later. Examining the case’s factual and procedural background provides insight into the relevant regulatory context. The Court’s analysis offers a detailed interpretation of statutory language and establishes principles of claim accrual, alongside the policy considerations of regulatory finality and judicial access. The implications of this decision may influence how future plaintiffs approach challenges to agency actions and prompt further examination of the boundaries of administrative law.
