Alamo Rent-A-Car, Inc. v. Sarasota-Manatee Airport Authority

How later courts describe this case

• holding that appealability relates to an order's enforceability, not its adherence to Rule 65(d)
• providing a detailed discussion of the differing ripeness analyses depending on the constitutional theories involved and the remedies that a plaintiff is seeking
• deeming a broad construction of the term “use” as appropriate where the benefit derived by the user depended on the existence of the entire airport facility
• dividing theories into three: just compensation, due process takings and arbitrary and capricious due process
• “[I]f there is no dispute over the meaning of a contract, there is nothing for [the arbitrators] to do”
• "there is a considerable question, though again one not necessary to decide, concerning the district court’s power to order arbitration.”
• what the railroad is allowed to do is the status quo even if the railroad has not been doing it
