Généré par l'IA

A governmental entity sought payment from a party for the cost of environmental cleanup activities under a statute authorizing recovery for such expenses, asserting that the party was responsible for the contamination. The court reasoned that the statute imposing liability did not define "person" to include the governmental entity itself, and since the entity was the one that initiated and executed the cleanup, it could not simultaneously be the responsible party against whom it sought recovery, therefore precluding the claim for reimbursement against itself.
