Hardee County, Florida, Petitioner v. Finr Ii, Inc., Respondent

Summary

The Court held that the Bert J. Harris, Jr., Private Property Protection Act does not permit a claim based on government regulation of property adjacent to the claimant's property. Because the setback was imposed on the mining company's parcel through the government's police power and did not create a property interest belonging to FINR, FINR could not state a claim under the Act. Justice Lawson, specially concurring, agreed with the result but would have ended the analysis after applying the statute's plain language.
