From 1979 to 2005, AVX Corporation leased 27 acres of property, referred to as "Horry Land Property." The plaintiff, AVX Corporation, claimed that the U.S. operations at the airfield during World War II caused TCE contamination on all of the real estate parcels that the airfield formerly encompassed, including the Horry Land Property. AVX Corporation sued the United States under CERCLA to recover costs it incurred after cleaning up the Horry Land Property in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The United States then filed a counterclaim for equitable contribution under CERCLA. The district court concluded that the United States did not contribute to any contamination on the property. The plaintiff, AVX Corporation, appealed. How do you think the appellate court ruled? Why? What evidence do you think the appellate court would need to reverse the decision of the district court and conclude that the United States did contribute to the contamination on the property? AVX Corp. v. United States of America, 2013 U.S. App. LEXIS 2762 (2013).
