Another portion of the case about the Nevada mine near the Oregon border is still pending appeals.

    Government policy enforcement via litigation is immortal in my opinion. The government needs to be the one paying to enforce the law.
    But here, the company was dragged through court and paid significant legal fees to defend itself against allegations the court ultimately threw out. So despite no legal basis, they were still punished with significant legal fees.

      Attorney fees aren’t going to bankrupt an established company, they budget for them. Particularly an OIL company. Dry your alligator tears, they will survive. And frankly, the perspective in this suit was that the company was breaking the law so by your logic the government should be paying and backing the plaintiff.

        If it has been treated unfairly. Companies are just people. Sometimes a lot of people some times one person.
