Lawyers for JPMorgan Chase & Co. moved to pause the U.S. Department of Labor’s gender bias case against the bank in the immediate aftermath of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that threw the status of administrative courts into question, according to a document obtained by The National Law Journal.
McGuireWoods partner William Doyle, representing JPMorgan, asked a Labor Department judge in June to “stay all proceedings in this matter” to let the attorneys and presiding judge resolve how the high court’s ruling in Lucia v. SEC might affect the government’s discrimination case.
