Municipalities tend to think they can do whatever they want, however they want, and citizens can’t do anything about it. This citizen fought back, and held his ground even when court after court told him to kiss due process goodbye. The city cited Ishakis for failing to maintain his driveway, but they didn’t follow all the requirements of the law. In the end, he won in the Court of Appeals, his civil infraction judgment was vacated, and the civil infraction case was dismissed!
I have similar issues!!
That’s great! I had a case with a bunch of of issues that (in my opinion) should have been easily dismissed because it was so messed up what the township was doing (Torch Lake Township), not following rules, laws, or their own ordinances… but the courts wouldn’t give us the time of day. Went all the way to the MSC. Nobody cared. Beyond frustrating.
