A cross-appeal from the U.S. will proceed on the Court of International Trade's refusal to redact parts of its public opinion that parties were concerned included business proprietary information. CVB told the court it doesn't plan to participate in the government's cross-appeal.
CIT in January rejected the ITC's efforts to redact information in its decision, emphasizing the need for transparency in the judicial system (see 2401090046). CVB appealed the decision to sustain the injury finding, while the U.S. joined as a cross-appellant to contest the decision regarding the business proprietary information and elements of the injury ruling.
The cross-appeal has garnered outside attention, including amicus briefs from the ITC Trial Lawyers Association and the Customs and International Trade Bar Association (see 2410090048).
