In the first, the Court addressed the Article III requirements that public interest organizations must satisfy in challenging alleged false advertising. In the second, the Court considered how the diversity statute’s amount-in-controversy requirement may be satisfied when a party seeks to enforce an arbitrator’s subpoena.
The Court holds that two organizations seeking to challenge a defendant's allegedly false advertisements lacked Article III standing because they failed to demonstrate the advertisements caused them to divert their resources.
