Wow, it’s been a busy week! Here is the latest: Enbridge yesterday filed a “Notice of Removal” requesting that a suit filed by POLAR be taken to federal court. Because Enbridge is an out-of-state corporation, they have the right to request the forum in which the suit takes place–in this case, federal court.
This is an interesting move, the implications of which we’re only beginning to work through. One thing is for sure: this raises the profile and perhaps even the stakes of the case a bit.
We have all of the relevant documents, including POLAR’s original complaint and Enbridge’s Notice of Removal filing. Once we’ve had a chance to peruse them, we’ll provide more detail– hopefully soon. Again: stay tuned.
