Supreme Court of the United States
Cts Corporation, Petitioner v. Peter Waldburger
June 9, 2014573 U.S. 1
Summary
The Court held that CERCLA § 9658 does not preempt state statutes of repose. The opinion reasoned that the statute’s text distinguishes between statutes of limitations and statutes of repose by referring exclusively to the former, and the presumption against preemption favors the state law. Justice Kennedy delivered the opinion of the Court, Justice Scalia concurred in part and in the judgment, and Justice Ginsburg dissented.
Holding
- Whether CERCLA § 9658 preempts state statutes of repose.. CERCLA § 9658 does not preempt state statutes of repose.
