Summary Introduction

Case Summary: The automakers of California file, a suit seeking to prevent the enforcement of a law by California legislature that seeks to curb the emissions of carbon dioxide substantially from all automobiles within their territory. The automakers contend that a federal law already exists that puts a cap on the emission of carbon dioxide indirectly by enforcing fuel economy standards nationwide. The manufacturers claim that natural justice is being denied to them because of the harsher restrictions placed by the Californian law.
