U.S. Supreme Court turns away Puerto Rico pension fund dispute

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up a dispute over the assets of Puerto Rico's largest public sector pension fund even as the U.S. Caribbean island territory's bankruptcy enters a major new phase. The justices left in place a January 2019 lower court ruling that found that bondholders who own nearly $3 billion of debt issued by Puerto Rico's Employees Retirement System have a legitimate claim on the pension fund's assets. The justices refused to hear an appeal by Puerto Rico's federally created financial oversight board of that ruling.
