handle is hein.ali/resndacy0133 and id is 1 raw text is: AGENCY 2D Generally C.A.Fed.2019. Cit. generally in disc. Virgin Islands Port Authority brought a lawsuit against the United States, alleging that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) collected wharfage and tonnage fees without authorization. This court affirmed the district court's grant of defendant's summary-judgment motion, holding that plaintiff had not revoked the CBP's authority to collect the fees, because plaintiff's communications to the CBP were merely requests to discuss revocation. In making its decision, the court noted that, generally, it looked to the Restatement Second of Agency to establish the contours of federal common law on agency. Virgin Islands Port Authority v. United States, 922 F.3d 1328, 1335. S.D.Fla.2019. Cit. generally in sup. American radio station that contracted to broadcast radio programs delivered by a Russian government-owned news agency sued the Department of Justice, seeking a declaration that it was not required to register as an agent of a foreign principal under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). This court denied station's motion for judgment on the pleadings, holding that station was an agent of a foreign principal that was required to register pursuant to FARA. The court rejected station's argument that its agreement with news agency disclaimed an agency relationship, explaining that a common-law agency relationship under Restatement Second of Agency, which focused on control of an agent by a principal, was not necessary to satisfy FARA's definition of an agent of a foreign principal; the relevant inquiry under FARA was not whether a principal could be liable for the actions of an agent in its control, but rather, whether the relationship warranted registration by the agent to carry out FARA's informative purposes. RM Broadcasting, LLC v. United States Department of Justice, 379 F.Supp.3d 1256, 1262. Ariz.2019. Cit. generally in case quot. in sup. In consolidated bankruptcy cases involving alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, this court, answering questions certified by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona, held, among other things, that a member of an Arizona limited-liability company owed common-law fiduciary duties to the company if the member was an agent of the company within the meaning of the Restatement Second of Agency. The court noted that, absent controlling authority to the contrary, the Arizona Supreme Court generally followed the Restatement when it set forth sound legal policy. In re Sky Harbor Hotel Properties, LLC, 443 P.3d 21, 23. CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTORY MATTERS TOPIC 1. DEFINITIONS § 1. Agency; Principal; Agent D.N.M.2019. Cit. in sup.; com. (b) quot. in sup. Property owners and insurers filed separate lawsuits against, among others, the U.S. Forest Service, alleging that the forest fire that damaged their property was caused by the negligent forest-clearing activities conducted by a Native American tribe that had contracted with defendant.
