The court battle between the state of Michigan and Enbridge has been going on for years, with Michigan seeking to shut down the pipeline and Enbridge resisting the attempt at court. Now, the state could get an advantage after the appeals court ruled Enbridge had missed a deadline to move its case from a state court to a federal one, Michigan Public reported.
The battle began in November 2020, when the Michigan Governor and the director of the state's Department of Natural Resources revoked Enbridge's easement for the operation of the twin Line 5 pipeline, citing repeated violations of the easement and the need to protect the Great Lakes. Michigan's notice required Enbridge to cease operations of the pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac by May 12, 2021. Enbridge ignored the notice and continued to operate the pipeline.
