Programming Note: Condemnation Committee Conference Call 11/18/2009, 2 pm EST

By Robert Thomas (inversecondemnation.com)

Just a reminder: tomorrow (Wednesday, November 18, 2009), from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time), we will be holding the next "recent developments" conference call for members of the Condemnation Law Committee (ABA Section of State & Local Government Law). It's free, but open only to Section members and guests.

Members should have already received an e-mail with the call information, either directly from the Section, or via our listserv (LG-CONDEMNATION). If you are not a member or have not received the information, email me.

These are informal calls to discuss recent developments, get feedback and advice about pending matters, and to otherwise exchange views.

As this is informal, the agenda is open. But we will be covering at least these topics:

• A preview of the December 2, 2009 Supreme Court arguments in Stop the Beach Renourishment, Inc. v. Florida Dep't of Environmental Protection, No. 08-11 (cert. granted. June 15, 2009), the "judicial takings" case that is generating a lot of interest.

• Aspen Creek Estates Ltd. v. Town of Brookaven, 12 N.Y.3d 735 (N.Y. 2009), cert. denied, No. 08-1444 (U.S. Oct 5, 2009) - the New York courts permitted a taking for use as farmland.

• Noble v. Safe Harbor Family Preservation Trust, No. 80873 (Wash., Sep. 24, 2009) - condemnation of a "private way of necessity"

• City of Milwaukee Post No. 2874 VFW v. Redev. Authority of Milwaukee, No. 2006AP2866 (Wis., July 17, 2009) - the "undivided fee" rule.

Hope you can join us. For a sample of what we discuss, see this post. If you are not a member of the SLG Section or Condemnation Law Committee and would like to participate in the call, drop me an email.
