U.S. High Court May Act in October on Argentina Bond Appeal
The U.S. Supreme Court will use its Sept. 30 private conference to consider whether to hear Argentina’s appeal in a clash affecting billions of dollars in defaulted debt.
The schedule, revealed today on the court’s public docket, means the justices may say as early as Oct. 1 whether they will review a 2012 federal appeals court ruling that requires Argentina to pay holders of defaulted bonds if the country makes payments on restructured debt.
The listing on the case docket is a clerical step and doesn’t indicate anything about the likelihood that the court will grant review.
The Sept. 30 conference is designed to give the nine justices a head start on their new term, which formally opens Oct. 7. The justices typically issue a list of new cases they will hear the day after their late September conference. They will release a list of cases they decline to consider, along with other orders, on Oct. 7.
The court doesn’t have to act on the Argentina appeal immediately and could defer a decision. The court could also seek input from the Obama administration.
The appeal is potentially one of two chances the high court will have to hear Argentina’s arguments, which center on a U.S. sovereign-immunity law.
