“While the current court’s decisions, over all, are only slightly more conservative than those from the courts led by Chief Justices Warren E. Burger and William H. Rehnquist, according to political scientists who study the court, its business rulings are another matter. They have been, a new study finds, far friendlier to business than those of any court since at least World War II.”

Turkcell Drops Suit of MTN Following Supreme Court Ruling - Risk & Compliance - WSJ
A Supreme Court ruling narrowing the scope of the Alien Tort Statute claimed its first high-profile victim.
Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetlera AS, Turkey’s largest mobile phone operator, said in a court filing this week it has dropped its Alien Tort claim against South Africa’s MTN Group Ltd. The suit alleged that bribery and other acts of corruption by MTN caused Turkcell to lose out on a license to operate a mobile network in Iran.
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton stayed the suit in October, citing the Supreme Court case. The Court ruled last month that the statute, which allows for non-citizens to file civil lawsuits in U.S. courts over alleged violations of international law, cannot be applied to actions that take place overseas.
In light of the Court’s ruling, Turkcell moved to dismiss its lawsuit, according to a legal filing.
Archer Daniels Sets Aside $25 Million for FCPA Deal - Risk & Compliance - WSJ
Agribusiness conglomerate Archer Daniels Midland Co. said Wednesday it reserved $25 million for resolution of a probe into violations of U.S. foreign bribery law.
The Decatur, Ill.-based company said in an earnings statement that it’s “in discussions” with the U.S. Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission over a previously disclosed matter involving violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act dating back to 2008 and earlier.
ADM said it expects a resolution to the case some time this year. The company said in November that it had entered talks with U.S. authorities but had yet to reserve any funds for a potential settlement.
