Tenth Circuit Permits Injunction in Contraceptives Coverage Challenge | Practical Law
In Newland v. Sebelius, the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit upheld a federal district court's order enjoining the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from enforcing the Affordable Care Act's (ACA's) contraceptives mandate. The Tenth Circuit held that the district court did not abuse its discretion in granting the preliminary injunction to the for-profit corporate plaintiff under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).
