Arent Fox Defends New York Landowner’s Constitutional Right to Compensation

On January 7, Arent Fox partner Thor Hearne argued Romanoff Equities v. United States before the United States Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit. In this case, Mr. Hearne defended the Romanoff family’s constitutional right to be justly compensated for land the federal government took from them to construct the High Line in New York City. The High Line is now a popular public park used for taco trucks, latin dancing, and other public recreation.
