| Court: | MI Supreme Court |
| Facts: | Detroit is going to condemn a large tract of land and give it to GM. |
| Posture: | Lawsuit! Appeal! |
| Issue: | Isn't this a taking for private use? Did the court below err in ruling that the MI EPA doesn't cover historical stuff? |
| Holding: | No. No. |
| Rule: | When there is a strong public need, the law doesn't so much regard the means as the need. |
| Reasoning: | It's not really reasoning so much as justificateion. They say the benefit to a private interest is incidental, and this is going to benefit the public. |
