A State Property Rights Victory for Kaplin Stewart Against the Railroad

Posted to Announcement by Ms. Bonnie Vandenberg of Kaplin Stewart Meloff Reiter & Stein, PC at 11:17 AM

Marc Kaplin, Esq. and Pamela Tobin, Esq. of Kaplin Stewart in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania have secured a precedent-setting state rights victory in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals for their client, the MacDade Boulevard Mall. The lawsuit was filed as a result of a dispute over CSX Transportation, Inc.’s failure to control the storm water runoff from its railroad track adjoining the Mall property. The trial court agreed with CSX that it was immune from liability under the Federal Railway Safety Act. Marc Kaplin argued the Mall’s case before the Third Circuit Court of Appeals which reversed the trial court’s decision, holding that the federal regulation did not authorize CSX to discharge its storm water directly onto the Mall’s property. The Appeals Court concluded that the regulation was never intended to give the railroad the authority to disregard state property rights. The decision is a vindication of state rights.
