Supreme Court Excludes “Misleading” Statements from False Statement Liability in Thompson v. U.S.

March 27, 2025

In a unanimous decision issued on March 21, 2025, the Supreme Court in Thompson v. U.S. heightened the burden of proof for “false” statements under 18 U.S.C. § 1014, excluding “misleading” but true statements from liability under the statute. Prior to the Justices’ ruling, there was a Circuit split related to the interpretation of “false” under 18 U.S.C. § 1014, which involves false statements made to influence federally insured financial institutions and agencies such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., Federal Housing Administration or Small Business Administration. Though limited to § 1014, the Court’s reasoning in Thompson and heightened standard of “false” will likely also impact criminal prosecutions under other federal fraud statutes.  Ultimately, charged false statements should now need to be proven to be untrue.

Fifth Circuit Holds that Gatekeeping and Injunction Provisions in Bankruptcy Plans Cannot Shield Non-Debtors From Liability

March 27, 2025

On March 18, 2025, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit held in In re Highland Capital Mgmt., L.P., that a plan’s gatekeeping and injunction provisions could not extend to claims against most non-debtors or non-estate fiduciaries. 2025 WL 841189 (5th Cir. Mar. 18, 2025).  The Highland decision demonstrates that, at least in the Fifth Circuit, gatekeeping and injunction provisions cannot shield most non-debtors from liability.
