| Abstrakt: | The article focuses on a report from the U.S. Congressional Research Service on federal liability for flood damage and analyzes the legal basis for tort and takings claims, as well as valid defenses that the government can use. Topics discussed include the historical shielding of the government from liability through the Flood Control Act of 1928 and Federal Tort Claims Act, the evolution of federal liability case law for flooding damages based on court decisions. |
