RATNER SCORES BIG IN BROOKLYN BATTLE
NY Post
RICH CALDER
The decision comes four days after The Post reported that litigation and a slumping fiscal market could spell doom for the biggest development project in Brooklyn's history.The report was based on papers Ratner's firm filed seeking a speedy outcome in a separate state suit by the group Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn.
In that case, the group is appealing a lower court decision that found the state conducted a proper environmental review before approving the project in December 2006.
Ratner wasn't planning to ask a judge to allow eminent-domain proceedings to begin until all litigation was decided, but he was still celebrating yesterday.
