Thomas Robert Bucher, Jr. v. State of Indiana (mem. dec.)

How courts have described this case

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

• stating that Sun Co. is “stale” because “[m]ore recent Supreme Court precedent has clarified that cost recovery and contribution are ‘clearly distinct’ causes of action”
• declining to borrow a limitations period under state law because that would “subject the federal government to varying liability state by state”
• “Given the differences between the two statutes of limitations, there is no textual basis to think that Congress intended to apply the trigger for cost-recovery actions to some contribution actions.”
