Commentary: Beachfront ownership lawsuit challenges Maine Law Court errors It remains to be seen whether Maine courts are willing to correct legal and scientific mistakes of the past. By Orlando E. DeloguSpecial to the Press Herald Share On April 22 – Earth Day – 24 named plaintiffs, including myself, filed suit challenging Law Court errors of omission and commission in Ross v. Acadian Seaplants and the Moody Beach cases – errors that ceded title to all of Maine’s intertidal land to adjacent upland owners, and in Ross gave them title to rockweed growing in or on the intertidal land. The suit brought by these 24 plaintiffs is soundly rooted, although whether it succeeds in challenging the precedent set by the Law Court remains to be seen.
