Article Excerpt:

In Knick v Scott, SCOTUS overruled precedent requiring property owners asserting takings by state or local government to exhaust state court remedies before seeking relief in the federal courts.

In a 5-4 opinion, the Supreme Court of the United States reversed many years of precedent to allow property owners to proceed directly to federal court to pursue takings claims against state and local governments.
