Chevron deference

Term · Insurance and risk management · MLC-T-INS-003607

A principle of administrative law in the United States that directs courts to defer to a federal agency's interpretation of an ambiguous statute that it administers. This doctrine applies when Congress has not directly addressed the precise question at issue, and the agency's interpretation is reasonable. It significantly impacts how regulations, including those affecting insurance and risk, are upheld in legal challenges.
