Winston Blunts Earnout Payment
Following a bench trial in Fall 2024, a New York trial court ruled in March 2025 that Cresco Labs, Inc. was not required to pay a US$45M earnout under a merger agreement. The court found that Cresco did not receive “commercially reasonable access” to New York’s adult-use cannabis market, which was supposed to be subject only to a non-competitive application or approval process. Adopting Cresco’s arguments, the court determined that only the Office of Cannabis Management and Cannabis Control Board could decide when and how applicants access the adult-use market. The court agreed that regulators required Cresco to pay a significant one-time fee, prioritized other applicants, and had broad discretion over approvals. This win supports claims that New York’s adult-use program lacks details and clear entry paths, frustrating industry leaders’ efforts to develop a robust adult-use market.

UK’s Digital Assets Regulatory Framework Takes Shape
The close of 2025 underscored the relentless momentum of the digital asset industry, showing no signs of slowing down. In December, the UK government and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) unveiled several draft measures and consultation papers that could significantly shape the future of the sector. Specifically, on 15 December 2025, HM Treasury (HMT) released a revised draft of The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Cryptoassets) Order 2025, and on 16 December 2025, the FCA published three Consultation Papers on cryptoasset regulation: (1) CP25/40 Regulating Crypto Activities, (2) CP25/41 Regulating Cryptoassets: Admissions & Disclosures and Market Abuse Regime for Cryptoassets, and (3) CP25/42 A Prudential Regime for Cryptoasset Firms. Furthermore, on 8 January 2026, the FCA outlined details of its upcoming ‘gateway’, the application process for firms seeking to conduct newly regulated cryptoasset activities under the UK’s forthcoming regime.

What Is the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)?
The Federal Acquisition Regulation, commonly referred to as “FAR,” is a collection of regulations governing the process by which the federal government purchases products, supplies, and services. The FAR consists of 53 parts, each covering a different aspect of the government procurement process. FAR part 52, for example, provides solicitation provisions and clauses that can (and in some instances must) be inserted into contracts with the government. While the FAR applies to all executive agencies, many agencies, such as the Departments of Defense, State, and Veterans Affairs, have issued their own supplements to the FAR which provide regulatory guidance on contracting issues that are unique to them.
