The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from American Trucking Associations in ATA’s lawsuit over what it calls “burdensome” requirements the Port of Los Angeles has put on fleets serving the port, the court said.

A unanimous ruling by the Supreme Court clarifies how companies with “far-flung” business operations should establish a home base for litigation purposes, and will probably move some civil suits to federal venues rather than state courts in the future, said lawyers familiar with the case.
