  • Strategic Legal Advocacy:

    • The ability to question agency decisions might lead to a more favorable regulatory environment.

  • Policy Influence:

    • The shift in judicial approach might prompt agencies to craft clearer, more precise regulations.

    • Retailers can engage in the regulatory process, providing input to ensure that new rules are practical and within legal boundaries.  -CSI​​​​
