Supreme Court of Arkansas

Richard G. Gawenis Appellant v. Arkansas Oil & Gas Commission, and Seeco, Inc. Appellees — Hart, J., Dissenting

May 28, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 390

Summary

Justice Hart dissented because she would reach and resolve Gawenis's constitutional jury-trial claim. She reasoned that secondary recovery methods could appropriate Gawenis's mineral property and therefore require a jury to determine full compensation. The majority declined to address that issue.
