A federal appellate panel ruled that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's lawsuit seeking to shut down part of a petroleum pipeline belonging to Enbridge Inc. in the Straits of Mackinac will be heard in state court. Enbridge had moved the case from state to federal court after missing the deadline. The case involves concerns over the pipeline's safety, with fears of a potential spill, and Enbridge is working to secure permits to encase the section in a protective tunnel. The lawsuit invokes the public trust doctrine and Michigan Environmental Protection Act. Enbridge is also involved in a separate federal lawsuit regarding the pipeline's shutdown attempt and interstate and international petroleum trading.
