Abstract:

In 2010 the Securities and Exchange Commission passed a rule that made it easier for shareholders to

nominate people for the slate for a corporation’s board of directors. The rule was challenged successfully

before a federal circuit court and the rule was invalidated on the grounds that it was “arbitrary and

capricious.” The article discusses whether the rule (or the circuit court case) was justified and what the

burden of proof should be when a circuit court reviews a rule of an administrative agency.
