An attempt to invalidate a New York State law that all but bans the sale of ivory in the state hit a major hurdle Friday, after U.S. District Judge Lorna Schofield of the Southern District of New York dismissed the plaintiffs’ suit for lack of standing.
The Art and Antique Dealers League of America and The National Antique and Art Dealers Association of America brought the lawsuit last year over the state law, passed in 2014, that made it a felony to buy, sell or trade ivory.
