Agency Misconduct Does Not Entitle Landowner to Loss-of-Use Damages

摘要

The court ruled a landowner sued by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) for allegedly placing fill in a wetland, and later vindicated when documents in DEQ's possession established the land in question was not wetland, was not entitled to pursue various causes of action based on the agency's nondisclosure because the issues had been fully litigated in a prior action between the parties.
