Issue

Whether district courts are legally allowed to issue nationwide preliminary and permanent injunctions or whether they should be issued only for the benefit of the individual plaintiffs and identified members of organizational plaintiffs or states.

April 29, 2025

The Restaurant Law Center, joined by the National Association of Home Builders, NFIB’s Small Business Legal Center, the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors, and the National Apartment Association, filed a brief arguing that “[w]here federal action has national application, limiting relief to a narrow class of plaintiffs or to a single jurisdiction is often inadequate.” The group provided real-world examples to “demonstrate why nationwide injunctions are particularly necessary for the broad range of industries and employers that Amici represent.” For example, “the Restaurant Law Center sought a preliminary injunction [in the Dual Jobs (80/20/30) Rule], arguing that the Department of Labor’s conflicting interpretations of wage-and-hour rules regarding tipped workers created uncertainty that only nationwide relief could effectively resolve.”
