The details are yet to be posted on the web, but mark your calendars now for an upcoming (two weeks from today, on Friday, June 21, 2019) Federalist Society teleforum, produced by the Environmental and Property Rights Practice Group, about an issue that we’ve been following that is the subject of at least three recent cert petitions (two denied, one on the way): whether federal courts can issue preliminary injunctions in takings under the Natural Gas Act which allow private pipeline condemnors to obtain immediate possession of property, even though Congress has withheld the federal quick take power in the NGA.

Stay tuned for the details which will be posted soon. Our speakers will be Chris Johns (Texas) who is preparing the forthcoming petition, and Jeffrey Simmons (Wisconsin), who will present the condemnors’ viewpoint.  We’ll be moderating the program. 

Details on the way.
