Legal TREND. US Supreme Court Rejects Pipeline Quick Take Appeal. 3 Things this means for property rights?

Whats happening? Landowners whose property became a location for a FERC permitted pipeline that allowed for a quick take without compensation since the property was taken 2 years ago.

What does this denial of cert. mean?

  • Institute of Justice says we continue with the current system that “systematically disadvantages property owners whose land is taken for pipeline construction”
  • Law Nerds Say: 5 other circuits have said the same thing, this isn’t an issue for the Supreme Court
  • Industry says: Had the Supreme Court taken this case it would have slowed industry growth and increased costs
