AIIS Wins Three-Judge Panel for Section 232 Case
Written by Sandy Williams
The U.S. Court of International Trade has granted a request by the American Institute for International Steel for a three-judge panel to hear its challenge to the constitutionality of the Section 232 tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.
In a June 27 motion, AIIS argued that a three-judge panel is supported by a specific federal statute and a rule of the Court that authorize such a measure when a case presents a constitutional challenge or has “significant implications” for the administration of the law.
