Case name: Siegel v. Fitzgerald
Decided: Monday, June 5, 2022
This case prompted the Court put a check on Congress: Congress should not be able to enact a fee increase that disproportionately affects certain U.S. regions and almost completely exempts two states. This unanimous decision by the Court rightfully upholds the United States Constitution’s Bankruptcy Clause.
the Bankruptcy Clause “does not permit Congress to treat identical debtors differently based on artificial distinctions Congress itself created.”
