If this were a real case the main issue would have come from the environmental league and the other ports. For environmental league they did not have legal basis to oppose to the port provided it was within the legal parameters. With respect to other ports there could have been a problem if there was no compensation paid to them because it was not legally binding. However, it would have meant spoilt relations with other state governors if no compensation were not paid. This could be avoided by balancing between parties and making them exchange information freely and understanding the real issues for each party. Concession from each party would be needed to arrive at a solution than can be of value to every party.

Given our values, our organizational mission, our constituencies, we cannot affort to lend our support to any development project worth fewer than 50 points.

    In this case, the City of Monroe, North Carolina decided in April of 2002, to supply the citizens of Monroe and surrounding area with natural gas through a direct connection between its natural gas distribution system and the Transcontinental Pipeline. The Transcontinental Pipeline transports and distributes natural gas from the Gulf of Mexico up through the northeastern United States. The parties of this case requested the court to focus on the validity of a local government’s exercise use of its power of eminent domain. According to our textbook, Business Law Text and Cases, eminent domain is sometimes referred to as the condemnation power of government to take land for public use. The town of Monroe, North Carolina entered into an agreement with the town of Midland to facilitate the acquisition of land for the construction of the new pipeline by acquiring the rights of way to local land required for the installation of the pipeline. Per the agreement, Midland had the option to tap the pipeline at discounted rate. Midland then exercised its eminent domain authority to condemn the need…

    Ogeechee Fish Kil

    • 1554 Words

    On May 19th, 2011, over 38,000 fish were found dead along an 80 mile stretch of the Ogeechee River near Savannah Georgia in Screven County. This number also included around 15 different species as well. This fish kill was and is the largest of its sort in the history of the state of Georgia. Investigations later revealed that the fish died from columnaris, which can be a deadly bacterial disease when fish have been weakened by other stressors. King America Finishing plant, which is located along the Ogeechee River, became the target of further investigation due to the fact that the dead fish only appeared downstream from the plant, and none were found upstream from the plant. The plant also has a discharge pipe which dispenses into the river. After several visits to the plant pursuant to the fish kill, the Environmental Protection Division discovered that the company had been making numerous unauthorized discharges into the Ogeechee River, of flame-retardant chemicals for over the past five years. Even more surprising was the lack of knowledge that the EPD had of the discharge line, despite the fact that is own inspectors were said to have inspected the plant up to six time since 2006. King America Finishing had failed to inform the EPD that it had a new discharge line, which is required of them under their permit. “EPD rules require companies to notify the department when they want to add new discharge lines, then the state can decide whether to issue a permit. But that didn’t happen in this case, state officials said (Savannah, 2011).” Yet even still, many feel that this is inexcusable on the EPD’s behalf. After the investigations begin to dwindle down and a reasonable conclusion of who was to blame was drawn, the EPD proposed a million dollar payment…

    This Court should grant the Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment because this Court should apply the law of East Kansas. This case involves a conflict of law issue because West Kansas’s law provides that worker’s compensation is the exclusive remedy for employees, who are victims of intentional torts, while East Kansas says that worker’s compensation is not the exclusive remedy. Under the governmental interest approach to conflicts of law, this Court should resolve this conflict in favor of East Kansas because it has an interest in applying its law, while West Kansas does not.…

    Atlanta recently received confirmed rights to use the ACF and the ATF Basins as sources for drinking water. The multi-decade long battle between Alabama, Florida, and Georgia, during which Atlanta had been using the water [quasi-legally], ended this summer in Atlanta’s favor to the general consternation of Alabamans and Floridians. At first glance, the fact that Atlanta claims rights to a lake in Georgia (40 miles North of Atlanta) would not seem to be an interstate problem. However, arguments from Alabama and Florida that the rivers flowing out of the lake continue through those states, and that the original provision of the dam and lake had nothing to do with water supply have provided confusion over who has primary rights. Like many other downstream constituencies of rivers all over the world,…

    They found that the park was not an enterprise dependent on the use of land that could be assembled only by government action, so the government did not have to step in unless absolutely necessary to still reap the benefits of the business and technology park. It also would not be subject to public oversight after being sold to private entities if eminent domain was not enforced here. Additionally, there were no facts of independent public significance, such as safety and health issues to justify condemnation. Because there isn’t an obvious public purpose, which is what eminent domain is centered around, the courts went against case precedent, saying Poletown did it wrong, letting the nineteen people stay on their property, and proving that the power of eminent domain is not a power that is always abused by officials, and the restraints put on it to determine whether something is a sufficient public purpose does protect us from abuse of the…

See, from my point of view, I see this as “American Imperialism” triumphing over justice and democracy. To me this just looks like part of our plan for American westward expansion. It looks as if we are throwing away the rights of the generations of people who inhabit those countries, just so we can secure ports.…
