Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court released its opinion in CTS v. Waldburger, a tort claim brought by neighbors of the CTS Superfund site in Asheville. The court held that the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA, or Superfund) does not preempt North Carolina's 'statute of repose', N.C.G.S. §1-52(16), which requires that a person injured by the actions of another sue within 10 years of the final injury or give up the claim. As a result, the Court dismissed the case brought by the neighbors, leaving them without a way remedy to recover damages from the company.
