Illinois law relative to strip mine land acquistion?
I'm writing about an attempt to take over a particularly nice farm in order to strip mine it for coal. I've read the Illinois statutes, but I don't really understand them.
Can the law help a mining company acquire mining rights to property that is owned 'fee simple', all rights retained?
with all due respect to Aces, would a British lawyer know the Illinois law? Perhaps. I bet he knows it better than I, and I was raised there, my step-father a small strip miner.
