Supreme Court of the United States

Murray v. UBS Securities, LLC

February 8, 2024601 U.S. 23

Summary

The Court held that under the Sarbanes‑Oxley whistleblower provision, a plaintiff need only show that protected activity was a contributing factor to the adverse employment action and does not have to prove the employer acted with retaliatory intent. The decision reverses the Second Circuit and remands for further proceedings consistent with this interpretation.
