Land Use & Property Rights
What is happening? Briefs are coming in hot for the US Supreme Court to hear the 5th Circuits case that said there is no timeline for governmental entities to pay just compensation in eminent domain.
Why is this important? Courts are split. Property Rights advocates say 5th and 14th amendments effectuate the right to timely compensation and federal courts are empowered to enforce that civil right.
How will this be important? How many states are going to put in timelines now? A lot….because who knew property has been taken and funds withheld.
