Thursday, December 11, 2014. The Law Court Throws A Lifeline To Kennebunkport. At long last the Maine Law Court has issued its decision after reconsideration and reargument in the Goose Rocks Beach case,. Almeder v. Town of Kennebunkport. 2014 ME 139. As you may recall, the Court’s original decision, back in February, 2014 ME 12, vacated a Superior Court decision that had, among other things, awarded the public a recreational easement by prescription over Goose Rocks Beach. We all like sandy beaches, but...

New England Appellate Blog: First Things First – Interlocutory Appeals From Pre-Removal Preliminary Injunctions
http://jbghappellate.blogspot.com/2015/07/first-things-first-interlocutory.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. First Things First – Interlocutory Appeals From Pre-Removal Preliminary Injunctions. The First Circuit has scratched my procedural nerd itch with its decision in Concordia Partners, LLC v. Pick. No 14-1233, a decision in which the underlying facts are truly irrelevant. Concordia sued Pick in the Maine Superior Court and obtained a preliminary injunction against her in the process. Pick then removed the case to federal court and filed a notice of interlocutory appeal. Roy Pierce f...

Monday, June 8, 2015. Forewarned Is Forearmed – The First Circuit Has No Patience For Sandbagging. Today’s installment comes to us courtesy of the First Circuit.

Basically told the Bar to “knock it off.” Ignore the lesson at your peril. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). About New England Appellate Blog. Roy Pierce from Jensen Baird’s Litiga...

New England Appellate Blog: A Study In Judicial Restraint – The Maine Law Court’s Decision In Hartwell v. Town of Ogunquit
http://jbghappellate.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-study-in-judicial-restraint-maine-law.html
Wednesday, May 6, 2015. A Study In Judicial Restraint – The Maine Law Court’s Decision In Hartwell v. Town of Ogunquit. It took a while, but a court finally gave me something to write about today. What struck my fancy is the Law Court’s decision yesterday in Hartwell v. Town of Ogunquit. It is rather clear from Hartwell. That the Law Court believes that there are some significant problems with our current system of administrative and judicial review of municipal land use decisions. It is equally clea...
