Handing a win to Bancroft’s Paul Clement, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled Tuesday that the Obama Administration ignored due process when it barred a Chinese-owned company from acquiring a planned wind farm project near a U.S. Navy facility. The decision reverses an earlier ruling that allowed the administration to block the project on national security grounds.
In March 2012 Ralls Corporation, an American holding company owned by two executives of the Chinese heavy equipment giant Sany Group, acquired four U.S. companies with land and development rights in north-central Oregon, planning to build wind farms there using Sany equipment. The project sites are partly within military airspace and just miles from a restricted training site that the Navy uses to test unmanned aircraft.
