Sam A. Allen, Plaintiff-Appellant v. State of Colorado; Colorado Court of Appeals ; Margaret v. Morton; Larry L…

Summary

The court held that an inverse condemnation claim concerning the compelled transfer of shares in a mutual ditch company was not a water matter within the exclusive jurisdiction of the water court. Because the claim concerned ownership and conveyance of the shares, rather than the use of water rights, the water court properly dismissed it for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
