SALT LAKE CITY — A federal appeals court has upheld some of the case against the reality TV stars known as the"Diesel Brothers," but slashed the amount of damages they have to pay in a case brought by a Utah environmental group.
In a ruling handed down on Tuesday, the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Utah Physicians for a Health Environment's ability to sue the Diesel Brothers in the first place, but greatly limited their reach. The three-judge panel said UPHE did not have the ability to sue for pollution that may be outside of the Wasatch Front. The court also ordered the lower court to re-evaluate how much in attorney's fees and damages can be awarded.
"It has not been fun for the Diesel Brothers to be the guinea pigs used to test the Constitutional bounds of the Clean Air Act. However, this ruling should heavily de-clutter our judicial system by putting rational boundaries on who can sue who and where. We expect the ruling of the 10th Circuit will reduce the damages award against the Diesel Brothers in excess of 90% and look forward to Judge Shelby’s wisdom in making that final calculation," Cannon said in an email to FOX 13.
