Argyle Farm & Properties, LLC v. Watershed Agricultural Council of the New York City Watersheds, Inc.

Posted 2020
About This Legal Opinion

This opinion has several pro-conservation holdings and is worth a careful read. It is one of a handful of cases in which a disgruntled landowner seeks to terminate a conservation easement via a scattershot lawsuit containing myriad causes of action. The discussion of the enabling statute's termination provision is especially instructive.
