How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- complaining that a twenty-two year-old black lung case \has dragged out appallingly\
- declining to disturb benefits award crediting later-in-time x-rays and holding that the Department’s view “that pneumoconiosis is progressive” could “be upset only by medical evidence of the kind that would invalidate a regulation,” which the coal company had not adduced
- “The upshot is that when a court determines commercial speech restrictions are content- or speaker-based, it should then assess their constitutionality under Central Hudson.”
