Requests Rehearing in AP News Case
The Associated Press filed with the Supreme Court clerk on March 16 a petition for a rehearing in The Inter Ocean vs Associated Press. Grounds cite that the court overlooked a circuit and appellate decision denying specific performance of a partly illegal contract and challenge the ruling that noncontract parties may access AP news due to public interest. It argues AP’s private news business should not be subjected to public-use control and that legislative rather than judicial action should decide such reach.
