The U.S. Supreme Court will settle the issue of whether
Dodd-Frank prohibits retaliation against internal whistleblowers
who do not report their concerns about potential violations to the
SEC. The justices granted Digital Realty Trust's petition to
review the Ninth Circuit's decision that a former executive can
sue over the company's alleged retaliation against him. Digital
Realty argued the Ninth Circuit was wrong to rule that
Dodd-Frank's anti-retaliation provision protects internal
whistleblowers even if they have not reported to the SEC, an issue
that has divided appellate courts.
