Final (Final) Briefs In Hawaii Beach Taking Case: Is "Future" Accretion A Present Property Interest?

By Robert Thomas (inversecondemnation.com)

A couple of days ago, we posted "Final Briefs In Hawaii Beach Takings Case: Is 'Future' Accretion A Present Property Interest?" with what we thought was a complete set of the merits and amicus briefs filed in Maunalua Bay Beach Ohana 28 v. State of Hawaii, No. 28175 (cert. application filed Apr. 22, 2010).

Turns out we missed one set, the amicus brief of Hawaii's Thousand Friends which urges the Hawaii Supreme Court not to accept the application for a writ of certiorari filed by the property owners, and the property owners' brief responding to HTF's brief.

Here they are:

• HTF's amicus brief (May 13, 2010)
  

• Property owners' response to HTF's brief (May 18, 2010)

[Our usual disclosure: we filed an amicus brief in the Intermediate Court of Appeals supporting the property owners, and recently filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court].

Unless there is another amicus party of whom we are not aware, or the Hawaii Supreme Court orders further briefing from the parties, these should be the final briefs in the case.
