California communities last month got an important procedural win in their efforts to get fossil fuel companies to pay for climate-related impacts. On May 26, a federal appeals court ruled that their lawsuits could go ahead in state court, which is their preferred venue, rather than federal court.
Similar lawsuits filed by Colorado communities, Baltimore, and Rhode Island are also marching on in state courts following unsuccessful attempts by fossil fuel companies to have the cases heard in federal courts, where they are more likely to be dismissed. Overall, the communities lodging these legal battles seem to be gaining momentum.
WV Will Get an Intermediate Appellate Court Finally By
April 5, 2021 - 12:28 am
The West Virginia Legislature, after years of trying, has finally passed a bill creating an intermediate court of appeals. Governor Justice has the bill, and he is expected to sign it into law.
As our Brad McElhinny reported, “The West Virginia Appellate Reorganization Act would establish an intermediate court to review civil cases between the circuit court and the Supreme Court levels. It would also review issues such as workers compensation and final orders from family court.”
The court will be relatively bare-bones; three judges with salaries of $142,000 a year who will hold their proceedings in already-available public buildings. The court has a start-up cost of $3.6 million and an annual budget of $2.1 million.
CHARLESTON – A bill that would create a new intermediate appellate court is headed to the governor s desk.
On April 1, the state Senate concurred on amendments made in the House of Delegates to Senate Bill 275. The vote was 21-12. That followed the House passing the amended bill by a 56-44 vote March 30.
Instead of the Senate plan for two districts, the House version only has one district. That also trims the estimated initial budget from nearly $8 million to about $3.6 million and the continuing annual cost from about $5.7 million to $2.1 million.
The Senate also had the judges serving 12-year terms, like those of the state Supreme Court justices. The House version changes that to 10-year terms.
