Arranger Liability Still Confusing Courts Four Years After Supreme Court Decision

摘要

The scope of arranger liability after Burlington Northern is still confusing lower courts and could be headed to the U.S. Supreme Court for another look, speakers at a superfund webinar said Sept. 24. The Supreme Court may also be asked to reconsider the allocation and apportionment portion of the Burlington Northern decision and clarify the distinction between Sections 107 and 113 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, the speakers said during Bloomberg BNA's webinar, "Not Settling for Less: Finality in CERCLA Settlements."
