• explaining that “[t]he reliance on” a prior precedent was “limited” where “our research ha[d] uncovered only four published cases that ha[d] applied its holding”
• noting that the issue of sovereign immunity is a question of law which is reviewed de novo
• recognizing that “the ‘nuisance exception’ [to sovereign immunity] . . . was not an exception at all, but instead, a proper recognition that the Constitution itself requires just compensation for takings and cannot, therefore, be understood to afford immunity in such cases.”
• explaining that a case is moot “[w]hen the remedy sought in the trial court is no longer available,” as when “the thing sought to be enjoined in fact takes place”
