Have you ever wondered how many RLUIPA land use cases have occurred since Congress unanimously passed the law (the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act) in 2000? Are you curious about the outcomes?
Recently, we were asked to provide a Court with a list of RLUIPA land use cases and outcomes. Below is a cumulative list of every RLUIPA land use lawsuit that has gone to a trial of which we are aware.
Academy of Our Lady of Peace v. City of San Diego, Calif., 09-cv-00962 (S.D. Cal. 2012) (Jury trial for damages held in October 2012. The jury ruled in favor of Plaintiff and court also granted Plaintiff injunctive relief.
Church of Our Savior v. City of Jacksonville Beach, Fla., 13-cv-1346 (M.D. Fla. 2014) (Bench trial held in September 2014. Plaintiff only sought injunctive relief, therefore, a bench trial. The court ruled in favor of Plaintiff in November 2014.
