Com. v. Outlaw, B.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the potential to transplant the endangered snail darter to suitable habitat does not circumvent the ESA's bar on destruction of critical habitat
• holding that the ESA reflects “a conscious decision by Congress to give endangered species priority over the ‘primary missions’ of federal agencies”
• holding that Congress explicitly had foreclosed the exercise of traditional equitable discretion by courts faced with a violation of section 7 of the ESA
• holding that the presence of an endangered three-inch fish was enough to halt, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act, completion of a $100 million dam
• concluding that under maxim expressio unius est exclusio alterius, enumerated exceptions are the only exceptions intended within the Endangered Species Act
• holding that an appropriations act without express language of repealer did not repeal by implication prior conflicting legislation
