Questions presented
This case involves state executive agency actions in relation to individual property owners and whether state statutes and administrative rules can be capriciously and arbitrarily interpreted in such a manner as to deprive an individual property owner of any chance to win against administrative agency actions. The questions raised are the following:
-
Does the Due Process Clauses of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantee a substantive right to prevail against the state when supported by the facts?
-
Does the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution permit a state administrative agency to interpret statutes and administrative rules in such a manner that deny an individual a procedural right to prevail at trial and upon appeal?
