Appeals Court Rejects Home as Reason to Evict Miners
West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals overturned a long held home protection doctrine in a case involving Watts Angelus and Black Id Consolidated Coal Company. The court ruled a mine owner can evict miners without formal process, upholding evictions even amid alleged self defense claims and allowing rough methods to recover possession. The decision reverses a circuit court ruling granting $4300 damages and sets a broad precedent for mining states nationwide.
