	Ripeness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In law, ripeness refers to the readiness of a case for litigation; for example, if a law of ambiguous quality has been enacted but never applied, a case challenging that law lacks the ripeness necessary for a decision.
		Ripeness represents the other side of the coin of standing, and deals with whether the defendant in a case has gone so far in his/her abusive behavior that the court has a right to hear the case.
		Ullman, 367 U.S. When drafting his complaint, a plaintiff may be able to avoid dismissal on ripeness grounds by requesting alternative relief in the form of a declaratory judgment, which in many jurisdictions allows a court to declare the rights of parties under the facts as proven without actually ordering that anything be done.

	Wines of Germany \| Home Cellar \| Pyramid of Ripeness Categories
		German Wines are categorized by the degree of ripeness measured in natural grape sugar upon harvest.
		The higher the ripeness of the grapes used for the wine, the higher up in the pyramid the wine will be categorized.
		Hence the dryness of a wine is independent of the ripeness level of the grapes upon harvest.

		Ripeness is a matter of perception, and as with any subjective perception, there are likely to be objective facts to be perceived.
		Ripeness is the key to many successful cases of negotiation, opening the way for discussions that led to an agreement in the Sinai (1974), Southwest Africa (1988), El Salvador (1988), Mozambique (1992), and many others.
		Objectively ripe moments, however, were not transformed into subjective perceptions or seized and carried through to successful agreements in Karabagh in 1994, in Cyprus in 2002, and elsewhere, according to published analyses.

		Cases applying the ripeness doctrine in the environmental field are again so completely determined by their unique factual settings that the best that can be done to illustrate the applications of the doctrine is to provide a sampler of Supreme Court decisions.
		While acknowledging that plaintiff was required to satisfy the prudential ripeness principle requiring that she receive a "final decision" from the agency regarding the application of its regulations to her property, the Supreme Court held that this test had been met.
		The second important issue arising from these ripeness and finality principles in the takings cases is the extent to which the plaintiffs may sidestep these requirements by mounting a "facial challenge" to the land use ordinance in question.

	RIPENESS DOCTRINE
		The effect of the ripeness doctrine is to "close the federal court house door"[4] on almost all land use taking cases.
		Finally, litigating a taking claim is unpredictable because ripeness relates to subject matter jurisdiction,[12] and can therefore be raised at any time during the judicial process, wiping out years of litigation and thousands of dollars of legal fees at the last minute.
		In a state court version of the ripeness doctrine, only the final decision prong can be used to find a claim unripe; the state compensation prong of the ripeness doctrine could not apply to a state ripeness doctrine because compensation is already being sought in state court.

		Indeed, if ripeness is not present, its components can serve as a target that helps identify obstacles and suggests ways of handling them and managing the problem until resolution becomes possible.
		Even when a conflict is ripe for negotiation, practitioners need to employ all their skills and apply all the concepts of negotiation and mediation to take advantage of that necessary but insufficient condition in order to turn it into a successful peacemaking process.
		Since ripeness theory indicates that ripeness is a subjective perception that results from objective indicators plus persuasion, these are the two elements that require attention in ripening.

	CRS Report: 97-877 - - NLE
		Ripeness seeks to ensure that issues adjudicated by courts are 'mature' -- i.e., that developments in the plaintiff's dispute with the defendant have reached a sufficient level of definition and finality that judicial intervention is appropriate.
		The first ripeness element that a taking plaintiff must satisfy is 'finality ripeness." (See Endnote 53.) Finality ripeness insists that before the court can reach the taking claim, the property-regulating government body must have arrived at a 'final, definitive position' as to the type and degree of development allowed on the property.
		The second takings-ripeness element is 'state compensation ripeness.' (See Endnote 60.) State compensation ripeness demands that filers of federal-court takings actions against state and local regulators first seek compensation from appropriate state forums, if that remedy is available and 'adequate.' This requirement is seen to stem from Takings Clause text.

		Once it is ripe, use the same conditions as for full ripe fruit to hold the quality.

		[19] In this respect, the ripeness label applied to prong two is misleading for it suggests that a claim may be heard in federal court after a state court denies compensation.
		While the absence of a variance or other similar procedure may render the claim ripe as to prong one on futility grounds,[131] such an absence, standing alone, is not proof of futility.
		[216] The court decided that the case was not ripe until the plaintiffs resorted to "the state procedure" for determining compensation; "the state procedure" meant a claim based on the Maine Constitution.

	UD Experts & Speakers: Hot Topic
		Watermelon growers need an automatic ripeness sensor, Kee says, because "it’s not at all unusual for a 40,000-pound truckload of watermelons to be rejected at the marketplace." An entire load can be rejected if 10 melons are green, he explains.
		The UD watermelon ripeness sensor was developed by students Matt Behr, Dave Bartoski, Allan Cohen and Jason Firko, as part of a senior design class focusing on real industry problems and customers.
		Because the hollow thunk of a ripe melon echoes, it produces an acoustical signal that shows up as a peak on the computer screen, which dies down gradually.

		It is at this stage that it is important to be able to assess or measure the ripeness of the fruit so that the importer or distributor may control the ripening to the degree necessary for the fruit to be supplied to the retail outlet with the required shelf-life.
		Hence, the measurement of ripeness may be based on peak force or the peak value of the resulting electrical output pulse.
		In order that the measurement can be provided as a numerical output directly indicative of the ripeness of the fruit, it will be necessary to calibrate the measurements produced against known ripening data for each species of fruit and its individual cultivars.

	Ripeness in wine
		Phenolic ripeness (also referred to as physiological ripeness) refers to the changes in the tannins that occur in grape skins, seeds and stems.
		In many vintages it’s a question of getting the grapes as ripe as possible before autumn rains set in, and usually the phenolic ripeness is satisfactory where yields have been kept sane.
		But it does seem that phenolic ripeness is more related to hang time than sugar ripeness is; by this, I mean sugar ripeness seems more tuned to the sunlight and warmth of the particular vintage, whereas phenolic ripeness is less closely tied to these vintage conditions.

	FACTORS AFFECTING THE ASSESSMENT OF AVOCADO RIPENESS
		Variability in softening and quality of ripe fruit was examined in relation to harvest date, tree effects, response to postharvest ethylene application, and rate of ripening.
		Since fruit quality decreases markedly with increasing ripeness (Darvas et al., 1990), it is important to assess the quality of individual fruit at the same stage of ripeness.
		When each individual fruit was judged to be 'fully ripe' it was assessed for rots and disorders as described in Hopkirk et al.

	Regulatory Takings and Proposals for Change
		Establishing ripeness is more of a problem for claims against state or local governments that are filed in federal courts than for claims against the federal government (see the next section).
		Although establishing the ripeness of a taking claim against a state or local government in a state court may be difficult, establishing ripeness for those claims at the federal level may be harder still.
		The reason is that federal courts not only judge the claim against the ripeness criteria used by the federal courts but also may require the property owner to pursue and be denied compensation in the state courts before they will agree to hear the case.
