The episode forecasts a significant shift in regulatory approaches due to increased legal challenges. Agencies will favour issuing guidance documents over creating new regulations to strengthen their legal standing. This will involve extensive consultations and pre-emptive announcements to anticipate and address potential legal issues. Expect prolonged rulemaking processes as agencies bolster their justifications. The rise in legal actions against and by agencies further underscores the complexity and contentiousness of regulatory enforcement. Jurisdictional disputes will also likely increase.
