Standing in Land Use Appeals 
Tuesday, March 15, 4-5
p.m.
Abutting landowners seeking to challenge a local board's
decision in a zoning matter must be prepared with concrete evidence
supporting their claims of aggrievement in order to establish
standing to bring a legal action. Although standing jurisprudence
goes back decades, the question of standing continues to generate a
generous share of appellate decisions, not all of which are easily
reconciled.
Join the Hon. Charles W. Trombly, Jr., of the Massachusetts Land
Court and Diane C. Tillotson, Esq., of Hemenway and Barnes LLP, for
a detailed discussion of how the courts are analyzing the elements
of standing in land use appeals and recent appellate decisions on
the question of standing in zoning cases.
