Supreme Court rules in Wilton-Peakwood case

In a case of local interest to both lawyers and local government, the Supreme Court of Virginia ruled on Friday on the challenge to the development on top of Peakwood Drive. The Court held that the Peakwood residents who challenged the City's grant of certain exceptions to the developer lacked standing. Here is the decision (link to PDF). Here is the Roanoke Times article. The article reminded me to add a link to Steve Emmert's excellent Virginia Appellate News site. I have also updated the Virginia Lawyer's Weekly Blog to its new address. It looks like the address change has been accompanied by an increased posting frequency.
