How courts have described this case

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

• noting that the Supreme Court did not rule in Day on the district court’s equitable powers generally, or question whether such powers remained available to avoid irreparable injury
• an award of interim benefits was appropriate where “SSA’s administrative procedures have stretched unreasonably long and have been deficient and wasteful”
• “If a remedy as fundamental as equity is to be forbidden by law, the law must be specific and clearly so intend. It cannot be a by-product of a statute intended to solve a particular problem arising from a particular practice.”
