The US Supreme Court’s recent rulings call into question whether it really favours corporations. Tony Mauro reports

The US Supreme Court continues to supply anecdotal ammunition to those who say the Court does not deserve its reputation as reflexively “pro-business”. In a pair of business cases decided in March, the Court ruled by lopsided majorities in favour of an employee in a wage-and-hours dispute and for plaintiffs in a securities class action. Corporations lost both cases.
