Marc Blubaugh Quoted in FreightWaves on Montgomery Litigation Following Supreme Court Decision

Benesch Partner and Co-Lead of the Transportation & Logistics Practice Group Marc S. Blubaugh was recently quoted in a FreightWaves article,“Montgomery lawsuit likely headed back to Illinois district court,” discussing the procedural next steps in the closely watched Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II litigation following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the case.

In the article, Marc explained the role of the appellate court as the matter returns to the lower court:

“The appellate court’s role here is largely procedural—it acts as an intermediary or conduit to ensure the Supreme Court’s instructions are carried out, but it generally does not revisit the merits of the case unless specifically directed to do so.”

The article examines the parties’ joint request to remand the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois and explores the implications of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling for the ongoing litigation.
