Bulky Brief Filed in Haratonka Case 16
Counsel for the Snyder Estate Co of Kansas City filed a 103 page printed brief in the United States Court of Appeals seeking rehearing after the court reversed a jury award of 350000 for land inundated at Haratonka State Park by the Begnell Dam. The brief argues the appellate court erred on prejudicial evidence rulings and on floods proof, contending damages arose from water level fluctuations due to dam operations. It asserts retrial would risk justice due to expense and insists on certainty of prejudicial error before set aside. Signed by former Senator James A Reed chief counsel and attorneys John Wilson Sid Roach and Henry Bundschu.
