Oral Arguments Scheduled In New Jersey's "Bizarre Condemnation"

By Robert Thomas (inversecondemnation.com)

The New Jersey Supreme Court has scheduled oral arguments in Klumpp v. Borough of Avalon, No. A-49-09 (certification granted Nov. 10, 2009), to review the decision from New Jersey's Appellate Division which held that the government can assert inverse condemnation in order to take property without compensation. (If that leaves you scratching your head, you are not alone -- the New Jersey Law Journal called the decision "a bizarre condemnation."

Arguments are set to begin at 11:00 a.m., Monday, March 22, 2010 in Trenton. We won't be there, but through the miracle of technology, we look forward to following along via the court's live webcast site (why don't all appellate courts do this?). We may even live blog it, as we have done with other appellate oral arguments.

More about the case here, including links to the Appellate Division's per curiam opinion and the merits and amici briefs.
