United States v. Causby 328 U.S. 256 (1946) was an important United States Supreme Court that held that the ancient common law doctrine of ad coelum had no legal effect "in the modern world." In the case, Causby sued the United States for trespassing on his land, complaining specifically about how fly-bys from a local airbase had frightened his chickens. They had flown into a wall and died as a result, and Causby wanted to enforce his right. Warning: template has been deprecated.
