In case you haven't heard yet, Judge Duvall ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit involving MRGO (Mississippi River Gulf Outlet). Last year, the Judge ruled that the Army Corps of Engineers was immune from suit for the levee breaches because of a 1928 statute providing immunity for flood prevention. In his 150+ page decision, the Judge held the ACE "grossly negligent" in its inaction to fix the MRGO problems after they admitted to them in 1988.
Of course this will be appealed to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and eventually to the U.S. Supreme Court. But it's a great victory and a monumental moment for New Orleans. This is/was the biggest piece of litigation in U.S. history.
Pop open the champagne!
