Mary Ryan, a partner in Nutter’s Litigation Department and member of the firm’s Development, Land Use and Permitting practice group, authored an article for the American College of Environmental Lawyers that addresses recent changes in regulatory takings cases. The article, titled “Takings Math for Dummies: When 1+1=1,” discusses the recent ruling in Murr v. Wisconsin, 137 S. Ct. 1645 that developed a new, three-factor test for determining the “denominator” in regulatory takings analysis. She concludes that while this ruling may be an example of where the “no harm, no foul,” rule led to the right result, this case does strengthen the government’s defenses on regulatory takings cases.
