Estermann v. Bose – Supreme Court of Nebraska holds that joint water management entity created by four natural resource districts pursuant to Interlocal Cooperation Act (ICA) was authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain.
Magnolia 8 Properties, LLC v. City of Maple Plain – Court of Appeal holds, as a matter of first impression, that discretionary-acts exception to municipal liability is absolute and shields a municipality’s planning-level decisions from strict-liability claims.
And finally, Surreptitious Plumbing, LLC is brought to us this week by Godfrey v.

Wait. What? That’s a thing that actually occurred? Our sincerest apologies to the sewage-spackled Godfreys.
