Morrison & Foerster’s Appellate & Supreme Court Practice co-chair Deanne Maynard applauded the Cato Institute’s brief in support of Duquesne Light’s cert petition challenging the IRS’s authority to disregard its own regulations in the Law360 article “<a href="https://media2.mofo.com/v3/assets/blt5775cc69c999c255/blt1d73760ca08852d9/6273202f4d9f89297129052b/180320-3rd-circ-perverse-justices.pdf">3rd Circ. Rule Creates 'Perverse Incentives,' Justices Told</a>.”“Duquesne Light Holdings appreciates the powerful amicus brief from the Cato Institute," she said. "Cato’s brief highlights the important question presented by our cert petition. Duquesne’s petition challenges a Third Circuit decision concluding that, even when a taxpayer complies with on-point and unambiguous regulations, the IRS may disallow a deduction just because those regulations lead to a result the agency dislikes. As Cato’s brief makes clear, agencies should not be able to pick and choose the regulations they will follow.”
