2005 Vermont Code - § 8505. — Appeals to the supreme court

§ 8505. Appeals to the supreme court

(a) Any person aggrieved by a decision of the environmental court pursuant to this subchapter, any party by right, or the board or either panel of the board may appeal to the supreme court within 30 days of the date of the entry of the order or judgment appealed from, provided that:

(1) the person was a party to the proceeding before the environmental court; or

(2) the decision being appealed is the denial of party status; or

(3) the supreme court determines that:

(A) there was a procedural defect which prevented the person from participating in the proceeding; or

(B) some other condition exists which would result in manifest injustice if the person's right to appeal were disallowed.

(b) An objection that has not been raised before the environmental court may not be considered by the supreme court, unless the failure or neglect to raise that objection is excused by the supreme court because of extraordinary circumstances.

(c) Only the attorney general may represent the state in all appeals under this section. (Added 2003, No. 115 (Adj. Sess.), § 74, eff. Jan. 31, 2005.)
