Earlier today, I presented the "National Takings Update" at The Seminar Group's Eminent Domain in Oregon conference. It was good to see old friends and colleagues again, even though on-screen and not in-person. Hopefully next time we'll all be able to join together.
Here are the links to the cases we discussed that are not in your written materials (mostly because they were issued after I submitted my materials):
- Ill App (unpub, unfortunately) Strikes Down Taking For Road To Be Owned By The Public
- California Trial Court: No Greater Public Interest In Town Seizing Private Water Company To Operate It Itself (Generic "Vision Statements" Don't Count)
- Listen (Or Read) As SCOTUS Hears Arguments In A (Sorta) Eminent Domain Case
- What If A Court Invalidates A Taking, But They've Already Taken It?
- How "Res Judicata" Is A Failed Condemnation?
- Sixth Circuit Says No To Res Judicata As The Latest Williamson County Workaround
- New Law Review Article (Ours) - "Evaluating Emergency Takings: Flattening the Economic Curve," 29 Wm. & Mary Bill of Rights J. 1145 (2021)
- Louisiana SCT: No Statutory Attorneys' Fees For Pipeline Taking - But LA Constitution's Just Comp Clause Requires Owners Recover "The Full Extent" Of Their Loss (Which Includes Fees)
Until next time!
