Description
Legal: - Stormwater Litigation and Legal Hot Topics- The Acts of God Defense in the Face of Flooding: Get informed on the latest stormwater-related litigation and other timely, hot topics on the legal front. Join us as we present the factual and procedural history of key cases and outcomes to date, then discuss how this translates into legal trends and best practices for stormwater professionals. Flooding is becoming a stark reality across Ohio and eroding sovereign immunity places governments at greater risk of liability. Learn how sovereign immunity works, how courts have interpreted it as it relates to flooding, and how the “Acts of God” defense may be argued as another means of pushing back.
