How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the term “enforcement” in § 2462 “presupposes the existence of an actual penalty to be enforced” and that an enforcement claim cannot accrue until liability has been assessed
• rejecting Fifth Circuit rule in part because, under it, “[a] suspected violator would ... have considerable incentive to employ the available procedures to work delay”
• “[N]o suit to recover a civil penalty can be mounted ... unless and until the penalty has first been assessed administratively.”
• “[W]e find the Fifth Circuit’s reasoning — the core of Core, as it were — to be unconvincing.”
• criticizing Core’s reliance on legislative history
