6th Circuit Court denies Enbridge's rehearing request, allowing Michigan AG's Line 5 lawsuit to proceed in state court.
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied Enbridge Energy's request for a rehearing, allowing Line 5 lawsuit filed by Michigan AG Dana Nessel to continue in state court. The lawsuit seeks to shut down a portion of Enbridge Energy's Line 5 oil pipeline, raising concerns over potential oil spills. Enbridge Energy argued that the case should be heard in federal court, but the court's decision focuses on where the case will be heard rather than whether the pipeline should be shut down. The case will now proceed in the 30th Circuit Court in Ingham County before Judge James S. Jamo.
