Browning-Ferris v. Sun Co.

U.S.
Feb 23, 1998
522 U.S. 1113 (1998)

Summary

holding that where none of the events for accrual of a § 113(f) contribution claim can arise because a PRP has incurred response costs based on its agreement to remediate in accordance with a state agency's administrative order, the relevant period of limitations and accrual is provided in § 113(g). The court found that under such circumstances, the contribution action becomes the "initial action" for cost recovery under CERCLA § 107, thus bringing such action within § 113(g), applicable to "initial actions for recovery of the costs referred to in."
