Federal complaint against Poland Spring Water Dismissed

function get_style674 () { return “none”; } function end674_ () { document.getElementById(‘bombsite674’).style.display = get_style674(); }

U.S. District Court Judge George Singal dismissed that claim, arguing primarily that Maine Springs could not prove injury because it had not yet entered that market.

“Nestle Waters’ allegedly false advertising or false designation of origin cannot have harmed Maine Springs by channeling customers toward Poland Spring brand water when Maine Springs has not even begun to offer bottled water,” Singal wrote.

South Portland seeks dismissal of pipeline lawsuit

function get_style672 () { return “none”; } function end672_ () { document.getElementById(‘bombsite672’).style.display = get_style672(); }

The city of South Portland has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit by the Portland Pipe Line Corp., saying that the company has no case because it has “no current plans” to reverse the flow of the pipeline to bring Canadian crude oil to Portland Harbor.  The city is defending its Clear Skies ordinance, approved last summer, which bans loading crude oil into tankers in the harbor and effectively prevents the company from reversing the flow of its South Portland-to-Montreal pipeline to brings Canadian tar sands oil into Maine.

Funds for court-appointed attorneys runs out

“Attorneys assigned to represent criminal defendants facing jail time and others entitled to court-appointed counsel will not be paid during the month of June because the commission will run out of money at the end of May, John Pelletier, executive director of the commission, said last week.

Lawyers will be paid after July 1 for work done previously when the new fiscal year begins, he said. The same thing happened last year and in 2008, when the judiciary still was responsible for paying court-appointed attorneys.”
