FCC v. AT&T · ¶29

The carriers contend that the FCC's forfeiture proceedings violate the Seventh Amendment. We disagree. Forfeiture orders issued under § 503(b)(4) do not defnitively resolve the parties' legal obligations. And the Commission's factual findings are not conclusive. It thus does not offend the Constitution for the Commission to issue forfeiture orders without the involvement of a jury.
