Josh Swanson, Vogel Law, gives an update on the Wilkinson vs. Board of University and School Lands involving mineral rights and payments in the Bakken and Lake Sakakawea. Swanson reiterates how the mineral owners have won court cases in the past, yet the state continues to appeal and argue.
Swanson explains how this case has created the potential for inner-state lawsuits, in that the one department board of governance will sue another department’s board despite the Governor and the Attorney General sitting on both boards.
Swanson also talks about other areas of his law practice he is seeing activity in the oil and gas sector. He cites contact breaches and disputes as well as collections as areas he is seeing increased interest.
