How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- noting that “[Corporate formalities and formal membership structure are not constitutional requirements for associational standing”

- granting summary judgment with respect to liability for a CAA violation based only on the defendant’s self-reported violations, where there were nineteen self-reported violations over an almost five-year period
- granting summary judgment based on the defendant’s self-reports of emission violations
- CAA plaintiffs’ recreational and aesthetic injuries were fairly traceable to emissions from oil refinery located blocks away
