Chemours makes case to top NC court for tossing AG Jackson’s lawsuit
Chemours and DuPont are petitioning the North Carolina Supreme Court to dismiss Attorney General Jeff Jackson's environmental contamination lawsuit, arguing it's a duplicative attempt to extract more money after a prior settlement with the NC Department of Environmental Quality. The companies contend that Jackson lacks the authority to pursue a second lawsuit for the same alleged harms already addressed by a binding consent order. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on September 15, with justices divided on the matter and significant debate over the Attorney General's common-law authority versus regulatory agency roles.
