PROJECT 4

Jimmy R. Green, et al. v. City Service Refinery, et al.; 26th Judicial District Court, Bossier Parish, Louisiana (2009)

CASE DESCRIPTION:

Proposed environmental class action involving a large number of properties located over a former refinery site in Bossier City, Louisiana.

RESULTS:

“…the Defendant’s expert [Dr. Jackson] showed an increase in value over time. A class cannot be certified merely on a pleading’s conclusory allegations… Plaintiffs must prove a factual basis for meeting the class requirements. As the court finds that plaintiffs have failed to prove such factual bases, class certification of this claim is denied without further analysis.” Opinion and Order (2009)
