Cape May County Looking To Dismiss Portions Of Offshore Wind Farm Lawsuit

Cape May County is moving to have portions of a lawsuit dismissed over its withholding of easement and road permits pertaining to the construction of an offshore wind farm. The Press of Atlantic City reports Michael Donohue, who is representing the county in a lawsuit by Ocean Wind LLC, contends the litigation cannot be filed under state law as “an action in lieu of prerogative writ,” according to a letter submitted to the courts Monday. He argued that because of the technicality, those counts should be dismissed.
