High Court Review of CERCLA Preemption Ruling Not Needed, N.C. Landowners Argue

摘要

The U.S. Supreme Court doesn't need to weigh in on the legal question of whether the superfund law preempts state statutes of repose, the attorney for North Carolina landowners that filed suit over contamination told Bloomberg BNA (CTS Corp. v. Waldburger, U.S., No. 13-339, opposition brief filed 11/14/13). John Korzen, director of the Appellate Advocacy Clinic at the Wake Forest University School of Law, said Nov. 18 that high court review of the matter isn't needed as there is no meaningful split among appellate court circuits, the issue arises infrequently and the decision being challenged is consistent with its case law.
