Occidental Petroleum Corporation v. Securities and Exchange Commission

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that agency's \conclusory statement\ dismissing plaintiff's concern that public disclosure of plaintiff's sensitive documents would cause competitive harm was so inadequate as to render the agency's decision \unreviewable\
• acknowledging that while “a private party may not, in most cases, immediately appeal a district court order remanding a case for further agency proceedings, the agency may do so”
• stating that a remand order is “interlocutory” rather than “final”
• when district court remand obliges agency to take further actions under an arguably incorrect legal standard an immediate appeal is appropriate
• desire to avoid embarrassment and reputational damage is irrelevant to substantial competitive harm determination
• “[I]n order to allow for meaningful judicial review, the agency must produce an administrative record that delineates the path by which it reached its decision.”
