From Jim Simmons:
This is great news and puts the gun boards on notice that arbitrary denials can cost them. Thank you, Jim, for all your work on behalf of gun owners in Michigan!
Washtenaw County lost another appeal after having denied a CPL to an eligible applicant, and this time, the Judge awarded attorney fees and costs! Pursuant to the statute, Washtenaw County pays 2/3 of all fees and costs, and the State of Michigan pays 1/3. The Judge said the gun board acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner in dealing with this applicant.
To my knowledge, that's the first time attorney fees have been awarded in a CPL appeal.
