SCOTUS Grants Cert in New Takings Case

On January 15, 2016 the US Supreme Court granted a Petition for Writ of Certiorari for Murr v. State of Wisconsin (Docket Number  15-214). The petition for cert frames the question as follows: “Whether in a regulatory takings case, the ‘parcel as a whole’ concept as described in Penn Central Transportation Company v City of New York, establishes a rule that two legally distinct but commonly owned contiguous parcels must be combines for takings analysis purposes.” See, http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/murr-v-wisconsin/
