☆ A federal judge threw out a lawsuit seeking to block student-loan forgiveness for over 800,000 borrowers

A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit to block student-debt relief from income-driven repayment plans. Last week, conservative-backed groups filed a lawsuit to block relief for 800,000 borrowers. On Monday, Judge Thomas Ludington in the Eastern District of Michigan Northern Division ruled that a lawsuit seeking to block $39 billion in debt relief for 800,000 borrowers lacks standing and is dismissed. The ruling means that — barring other legal challenges — the Education Department will continue looking at borrowers' income-driven repayment accounts every two months to determine if they qualify for debt relief, and those who do not want the debt relief will have the option to opt out. Borrowers can also apply for the SAVE Plan before federal payments resume — a new income-driven repayment plan intended to make borrowers' monthly payments cheaper.

☆ Judge Finds Tennessee Law Aimed at Restricting Drag Shows Unconstitutional
  + stars: | 2023-06-03 | by ( Emily Cochrane | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A federal judge said late Friday that a law in Tennessee aimed at restricting drag shows was unconstitutional, saying it was overly broad and violated the First Amendment. The ruling is an initial victory for supporters of L.G.B.T.Q. Tennessee, which passed the law this year with the stated goal of protecting children, was among more than a dozen states that passed measures restricting L.G.B.T.Q. The attorney general of Tennessee, Jonathan Skrmetti, who said he expected to appeal the decision, maintained that the ruling did not affect the rest of the state. He added that the law’s language “is rooted in the U.S. Supreme Court’s long-established First Amendment precedent.”

☆ Windfall tax seizure case in Michigan deepens appellate split on class standing issue

The county auctioned Fox's property for about $25,000 — and kept the $22,000 difference between the sale price and Fox's tax obligation. But Fox’s class action did not name only Gratiot County as a defendant. Circuit Court disagreed. The 6th Circuit in the Fox case agreed with the 2nd Circuit's holding that trial courts must consider constitutional standing issues ahead of class certification. The Michigan counties that challenged class certification were represented at the 6th Circuit by Douglas Curlew of Cummings, McClorey, Davis & Acho.
☆ UK court approves German property group Adler's restructuring plan
  + stars: | 2023-04-12 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
LONDON, April 12 (Reuters) - Adler Group SA's (ADJ.DE) restructuring plan to prevent the German property company's imminent collapse was approved by London's High Court on Wednesday, despite opposition from some bondholders. He told a short hearing on Wednesday that he would provide his reasons for allowing the plan at a later date. Adler Group has external debts of approximately 6.1 billion euros ($6.66 billion), according to court documents filed by AGPS Bondco for last week's hearing. Under the restructuring plan, the company will borrow 938 million euros of new funding and the terms of unsecured notes that mature between 2024 and 2029 will be amended. A group of creditors that holds notes that mature in 2029 – including investment firms DWS Investment GmbH and Strategic Value Partners – opposed the plan, saying they would be better off if Adler Group were formally liquidated.
☆ Tennessee Law Targeting Drag Shows Is Blocked by Judge

Cabaret performances, including by male and female impersonators, have been banned on public property or in a location where they could be viewed by minors in Tennessee . A federal judge on Friday blocked a novel Tennessee law that would have strictly limited drag shows hours before it was set to go into effect Saturday. U.S. District Judge Thomas L. Parker issued a temporary restraining order against enforcing the law in response to a lawsuit filed by a Memphis-based theater company.
