Case Talking Points
- Mike and Chantell are renting a house, but wanted to build a home of their own. Six years ago they bought a 0.63-acre parcel for $23,000.
- The Sacketts' parcel is 500 feet west of Priest Lake, separated from the lake by a house and a road.
- EPA issued a "compliance" order, demanding that the Sacketts stop construction, remove the gravel and return the land to EPA's liking. Moving the gravel would cost $27,000 — more than what the Sacketts paid for the land.
Summary:
Can federal bureaucrats seize control of your hard-earned property – and deny you a meaningful right to appeal the land grab?
This is the compelling question in Sackett v. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – the latest PLF case to be accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Observers on all sides see history in the making – a case that could break new ground in environmental law, and win a broad-impact precedent for property rights. Sackett could have “a sweeping effect,” UC-Davis law professor Richard Frank told NPR. It has the potential “to bolster the rights of landowners facing costly demands from the federal government,” reported Bloomberg/Business Week magazine.
