 North Carolina changed its right-to-farm law to further protect farmers from frivolous lawsuits.The language of the law was substantially altered to more narrowly and clearly define what qualifies as a nuisance while limiting when plaintiffs may be awarded punitive damages.Owners of the farms at the center of this dispute were not allowed to tell their side of the story due to a gag order that was in place until it was lifted by United States District Court Judge Earl Britt on September 3rd, 2018.
