DMWW Lawsuit: Iowa Supreme Court Oral Arguments Live Stream
Oral arguments for questions pertaining to Iowa law in the DMWW federal lawsuit will be heard on September 14, 2016.
The questions were certified to the Iowa Supreme Court last January by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa. The questions being certified are:
(1) As a matter of Iowa law, does the doctrine of implied immunity of drainage districts as applied in cases such as Fisher v. Dallas County, 369 N.W.2d 426 (Iowa 1985), grant drainage districts unqualified immunity from all of the damage claims set forth in the Complaint?
(2) As a matter of Iowa law, does the doctrine of implied immunity grant drainage districts unqualified immunity from equitable remedies and claims, other than mandamus?
(3) As a matter of Iowa law, can the plaintiff assert protections afforded by the Iowa Constitution's Inalienable Rights, Due Process, Equal Protection, and Takings Clauses against drainage districts as alleged in the Complaint?
(4) As a matter of Iowa law, does the plaintiff have a property interest that may be the subject of a claim under the Iowa Constitution's Takings Clause as alleged in the Complaint?
