Cedar Point Nursery v. Hassid: The United States Supreme Court’s Latest Pronouncement on Unconstitutional Takings

In Hassid, the Court held that a California regulation that provided union organizers limited access to agricultural worksites was a per se taking based upon the proposition that any governmental grant of physical access, no matter how time-limited or functionally constrained, constitutes a per se unless one of the Court’s articulated exceptions applies.
