- Martin County Conservation Alliance v. Martin County, 73 So. 3d 856 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011), confirming on rehearing sanctions imposed on environmental organizations under section 57.105, Florida Statues, as they were held to have pursued appellate review without any foundation in law or fact.
- St. Johns River Water Mgmt District v. Koontz, 2011 WL 5218306 (Fla. Nov. 2, 2011), declining to recognize an exaction under U.S. Supreme Court precedents Nollan and Dolan because the theory is applicable only to exactions involving real property.
- Venice v. Gwynn, 2011 WL 6934531 (Fla. 2d DCA Dec. 30, 2011), stating that ordinances that do not deprive all or substantially all of a property’s value fail the Penn Central test and thus do not violate the Constitution as uncompensated taking of property.
