"The appellate court agreed with the bankruptcy court that the relevant language in MPPAA permitted the two plans to enforce their contract with Yellow and demand liability at the contractually-bargained-for rate, despite that rate being higher than Yellow's actual contributions at the time." [In re Yellow Corp., No. 25-1421 (3d Cir. Sep. 16, 2025)]  MORE >>

"The Third Circuit affirmed the Bankruptcy Court's order in full: [1] PBGC's Phase-In and No-Receivables Regulations were valid exercises of authority under ARPA and not arbitrary or capricious under the APA. [2] The major questions doctrine did not apply, because Congress clearly delegated authority to PBGC regarding special financial assistance and withdrawal liability. [3] Yellow's contractual agreements with two pension funds to pay withdrawal liability at 100% contribution rates were enforceable, as the MPPAA sets a liability floor but does not prevent employers from agreeing to higher obligations."
