Evidence log
- 2026-06-23 — Pung v. Isabella County: Supreme Court held (June 23, 2026, No. 25-95, Alito, J.) that just compensation under the Fifth Amendment Takings Clause for a tax-sale foreclosure equals the auction sale price with surplus returned to the former owner, not hypothetical fair market value, and that the Eighth Amendment Excessive Fines Clause imposes no greater remedy—building on Tyler v. Hennepin County (2023) and limiting recovery for former owners whose properties sell below market at tax auction. (novelty: 3)
