Monsanto Lawsuit Against Arkansas Plant Board Dismissed by Judge
USAgNet - 02/20/2018
An Arkansas Circuit Judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by Monsanto against the Arkansas State Plant Board concerning its decision to ban dicamba in the state between April 16 and Oct. 31. Ag Professional magazine reports that the lawsuit also challenged an
earlier rule that targeted Xtendimax specifically.
Judge Chris Piazza cited a state Supreme Court ruling that makes it more difficult to sue the state, according to the Associate Press. The decision said legislators could not waive the state's immunity from lawsuits, which is granted under the state constitution. The
judge said he 'did not see how the justices' previous ruling would let Monsanto's lawsuit go forward over the dicamba ban.'
Monsanto disagrees with this ruling and is considering further legal action.
