Clarity coming to vexing property rights issue; Adam Martinez, Chairman of Rose Law Group real estate litigation department, provides insight: “[Murr v. Wisconsin]… should get its hearing next year [in the U.S. Supreme Court] and be decided by summer… [T]he case… is expected to be a defining one in a decades-long battle over an issue referred to in the legal profession as ‘parcel as a whole.’” Adam Martinez: “Clarity from the Supreme Court on this issue is extremely important for property owners… Arizona has joined Nevada and 8 other states in filing a brief in support of the Murrs and urging the Supreme Court to protect private property rights and curb the expansive interpretation of the ’parcel as a whole’ rule advanced by Wisconsin.” For further comment from Adam including “what matters to property owners,” plus more on this case from REALTORMag, click through to Rose Law Group Reporter. http://bit.ly/2eSfbHF
