A court petition seeking to halt a lockout of 70 workers at a Brooklyn, New York, apartment complex should be thrown out, a lawyer told the judge in the case, which may test whether President Barack Obama’s January appointments to the National Labor Relations Board are legal.
The petition isn’t valid because the board that voted to file it lacked a quorum, the landlord’s lawyer, Paul D. Clement, told U.S. District Judge Brian M. Cogan at the hearing today in Brooklyn.
