Rule
If a regulation constitutes a taking, the government must pay just compensation for the period during which the taking was in effect, even if the regulation is subsequently invalidated or repealed.
Significance
Established that temporary regulatory takings require compensation; government cannot avoid the Takings Clause by later invalidating the offending regulation.
