Just Compensation Timeline Coming to US Supreme Court?

What is happening? The US Supreme Court may take up a 5th Circuit case that asks whether there is a deadline for a local governmental entity to pay just compensation.

Why is this important? The 5th Circuit said there is nothing that prevents the local government from just not paying for a very long time & courts have no tools to offer recourse.

How will this be important? The fundamental issue is whether if parties reach an agreement on compensation, or a court reaches a finding on just compensation, is there an enforcement mechanism to ensure that property owners are paid just compensation.
