Issues: (1) Whether 42 U.S.C. § 1983 provides a “good-faith defense” to private entities who violate another’s constitutional rights before the courts have
clearly established the illegality of their conduct; and (2) whether the defenses of qualified immunity or “good
faith” allow a defendant who takes another
person’s money or property in violation of the
Constitution—but in reliance on a statute or
court ruling that purported to authorize its
conduct and is only later declared unconstitutional—to keep that money or property when
the owner sues for its return.
