Supreme Court rules in favor of Mall of America in Sears lease dispute.

The US Supreme Court has ruled that the Mall of America can challenge a lease it made with Sears in 1991, which gave the retailer a 100-year lease on a three-story location for just $10 per year. After Sears went bankrupt in 2018, the retailer's owner sought to sublet the store to another tenant. The Mall of America objected, citing concerns about how subletting the space would affect the mall's business. The Supreme Court held that appeals are allowed, even if there are other limits to what bankruptcy courts can do to reverse a deal.
