Re: ET Eminent Domain Decision Appealed
This is a total piece of garbage. The landowners who had fractional ownership and had not visited the property in one case generations made notifications difficult to impossible. Seems the judge found the stories about their unrequited love for the property they had never seen to be a bit unbelievable. Thus the $50 award to each.
The article looks at first glance to be a hit piece only using the part of the story that benefits the attorneys representing the plaintiffs - and several environmental type groups.
With the precedent that after the fact the economic harm of shutting the pipeline is an most important consideration; this is certainly a creative way to put money into the pockets of lawyers.
