Swift v. DEPT. OF TRANSP. OF COM.green

1 sentence

2024Although the actions the Fagans request (removal of the Sewer Line from the Property) would cause the Authority to take affirmative actions and expend resources, the Fagans’ equitable claims, like the ejectment claim in Rawlings, are not claims for damages on account of an injury.3 Therefore, like in 3 The Authority relies upon this Court’s decision in Swift v. Department of Transportation, 937 A.2d 1162, 1168 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2007), to support its argument that a claim for injunctive relief that would require affirmative action is equivalent to a claim for damages.

2024Id. at 586-87 .

2017While the Rawlings Court also stated that the landowners’ ejectment claim was not barred by immunity because it was not a claim for damages, id. at 586-87 , that ruling is inconsistent with this Court’s later ruling in Swift that affirmative injunctive relief is subject to the same immunity as damages claims and was unnecessary to the Court’s decision, as the landowners’ claims were held to fall within the real property exception to immunity.
