Here's what last week looked like

  • Diesel in France hit a record €2.41 a liter, about $10.27 a gallon, and the truckers were held back only by a conditional fuel subsidy; with a national strike set for November 5th, any business with a French supplier or carrier may see slower deliveries or fuel surcharges through mid-November.
  • An extortion group says it holds files from 38 ports and shipping companies, and the likely source is a shared software vendor, so a shipper can be exposed through the companies that handle its cargo even when its own systems are sound.
  • The nationwide system that sends bankruptcy notices to creditors has been down since October 9th, but claim deadlines that run from the filing date have not paused, so checking court dockets directly is safer than waiting for a notice.
  • A proposed rule would stop immigration officers from deferring to earlier visa approvals, and the agency itself expects about 6,000 more requests for evidence a year, so extensions that used to move easily may need earlier filing and a current evidence file.
  • Conduent's $80 million breach settlement would also release the clients sued alongside it, which means a vendor's settlement can end consumer class claims against its customers on terms they did not sign.
  • The Graham Russia sanctions and tariffs are waived with no end date and a possible 60-day review, so freight, heating and supplier prices that follow diesel may swing with a decision due around mid-December.
  • A court has put importers who paid the struck-down emergency tariffs into a class action with no opt-out, but it has ordered no refunds, so being in the class does not mean being paid.
