CIT Stays Dongbu Case on Zeroing in AD Reviews Pending Ruling on Union Steel Appeal
The Court of International Trade stayed yet another court proceeding involving zeroing, pending a ruling on the Union Steel case by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The stayed proceeding, Dongbu v. U.S., awaits a remand order from CIT on how to implement the appeals court’s 2011 ruling, which marked the first time a court asked the International Trade Administration for an explanation of its policy to use zeroing in administrative reviews but not investigations. At issue is the scope of the remand, as well as whether Dongbu can continue to participate in the proceeding, given that it didn’t participate in the appeal to CAFC. CIT declined to decide either issue, because the appeals court’s ruling in Union Steel could control the outcome of this case.
