For the first time in a published opinion, the Colorado Court of Appeals addressed the construction and application of the Colorado Motor Vehicle Repair Act.
The 10th Circuit held that the moment the state takes private property for public use without just compensation, a property owner has an actionable claim under the takings clause.
The appeals court, in an issue of first impression, found that extreme indifference first degree assault is per se grave or serious under Wells-Yates v. People.
