    Original quote
    My belief is that the courts are basically going to leave that where it lies. I don't think that there's going to be any really great way to sort of untie that that Gordian knot. The money has already changed hands.

How the call settles

YES if the final controlling court dispositions leave the already-collected tariff revenue with the federal government and do not order broad program-wide refunds; NO if a controlling final disposition orders broad refunds of the already-collected revenue; unresolved while material refund claims remain pending.

Our reasoning

Pending. It will be judged only by this stored rule: YES if the final controlling court dispositions leave the already-collected tariff revenue with the federal government and do not order broad program-wide refunds; NO if a controlling final disposition orders broad refunds of the already-collected revenue; unresolved while material refund claims remain pending. Deadline or event: Final disposition of claims seeking refunds of tariff revenue collected under the invalidated program.
