Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Does the theoretical availability of a
contribution action under CERCLA § 113(f) foreclose
recovery of costs under CERCLA § 107(a), even
where all of § 107(a)'s statutory criteria are satisfied ?
2. Does a bare declaratory judgment that
determines liability but imposes no "costs" and awards no "damages" count as a "judgment … for
recovery of such costs or damages" that trigger s the
three -year statute of limitations for § 113(f) actions ?
Question Presented (AI Summary)
Whether a declaratory judgment without imposed costs or damages triggers CERCLA's three-year statute of limitations for contribution actions
