In Federal Natural Gas Act Takings By Private Condemnors, Just Compensation Is Determined By State Law (Incorporated Into Federal Common Law)
There’s a bit of Inception-level dream-within-a-dream stuff in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit’s opinion in Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co. LLC v. Permanent Easement for 7.053 Acres, No. 17-3700 (July 23, 2019), because the court held in takings by a private condemnor exercising the delegated power of eminent domain under the…
