TRUE NORTH DEMANDS FULL COMPENSATION DUE SARASOTA LANDOWNERS
The federal government took hundreds of Sarasota landowners’ property to extend the Legacy Trail. But rather than pay theseowners that compensation the government admits they are owed, the government filed a motion arguing that the compensation it must pay should be decreased due to the “scope of the trail sponsor’s interest obtained by operation of section 8(d) of the Trails Act.”
In response, True North Law filed this response with the Court explaining the government’s erroneous reading of the Trails Act and demanding that the government pay Sarasota landowners full and just compensation for the land the federal government took. We expect a favorable decision from the Court soon.
Tim Belz, Of Counsel Attorney with True North Law, has been named to the Missouri Lawyers Weekly "POWER List for Appellate Law"
Tim is an accomplished expert constitutional law litigator. As reported in the Missouri Lawyers Weekly article, Tim “secured a major victory in the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals while challenging a provision of the Affordable Care Act that mandated insurance coverage for contraception.” Missouri Lawyers Weekly has recognized Tim in the past as a 2004 “Lawyer of the Year” and in 2017 as an “Influential Appellate Advocate.”
