Abstract:

The United States Supreme Court case of First English Evangelical Lutheran Church of Glendale v. County of Los Angeles, California involved a flood-plain regulation that prevented rebuilding on a tract where a major flood had washed away buildings on the plaintiff’s campground. When a local government adopts an unconstitutional taking, it must pay the property owner compensation.
