Terms Used In Michigan Laws 324.61730

  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Commission: means the commission of natural resources. See Michigan Laws 324.301
  • Injunction: An order of the court prohibiting (or compelling) the performance of a specific act to prevent irreparable damage or injury.
  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.
  • Person: means an individual, partnership, corporation, association, governmental entity, or other legal entity. See Michigan Laws 324.301
  • state: when applied to the different parts of the United States, shall be construed to extend to and include the District of Columbia and the several territories belonging to the United States; and the words "United States" shall be construed to include the district and territories. See Michigan Laws 8.3o
  • Temporary restraining order: Prohibits a person from an action that is likely to cause irreparable harm. This differs from an injunction in that it may be granted immediately, without notice to the opposing party, and without a hearing. It is intended to last only until a hearing can be held.
   The action of the supervisor shall be final with respect to jurisdiction for an appeal before any regulatory agency of this state, but any person may seek relief before the commission or in the courts as provided under the laws of the state, and the taking of an appeal as provided in this part is not a prerequisite to seeking relief in the courts. The place of initiation of proceedings for review shall be limited to the circuit court of the county of Ingham, which shall have exclusive jurisdiction of all suits brought against the supervisor or any agent or employee of the supervisor, on account of any matter arising under this part. A temporary restraining order or injunction shall not be granted in any such suit except after due notice and upon a showing of irreparable harm by the appealing party.
