Supreme Court of the United States

Charles C. Liu, Petitioners v. Securities and Exchange Commission — Thomas, J., Dissenting

June 22, 2020140 S. Ct. 1936

Summary

Justice Thomas dissents, arguing that disgorgement is not "equitable relief" under 15 U.S.C. § 78u(d)(5) and therefore the majority’s vacatur and remand are erroneous; he would reverse the Ninth Circuit’s disgorgement award.
