Virginia Supreme Court Hearings

April 19, 2017 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm


Hazel Palmer, an 83 year old widow, will stand up against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC before the Virginia Supreme Court. In 2004 the General Assembly enacted special legislation for interstate gas transmission companies granting them the special power to enter private property to study the land for interstate pipelines without the individual owner’s permission and without the companies paying just compensation.

On the same docket, and scheduled after Mrs. Palmer’s case, Buckingham County landowners will have their appealed right-to-enter cases heard. In April, a Buckingham County judge granted ACP surveyors the right to enter private property without giving landowners notice of the specific date of entry, despite the fact that the pipeline builder has not been granted the right to eminent domain.

Come to show your support for Mrs. Palmer and for the Buckingham County landowners.

The Virginia Supreme Court is across 9th Street from the Capitol building.

You must enter and be seated before 9 am!
