The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals of the United States ruled today Law Office of Michael A. Demayo LLP v. Sheet Metal Workers Health and Welfare Fond of North Carolina. Judge Readler’s opinion begins here:
If you enjoy unresolved legal issues, then who wouldn’t love the chance to explore a maze of old equitable doctrines embedded within a federal statute with very little precedent? This appeal contains all of this. You can also add the federal agency amici to the mix and you have the ingredients for an excellent jurisprudential dinner. These issues cannot be resolved because they are not available for appellate review. We affirm the decision of the district court on this basis.
The feast was therefore postponed.
