Montana Supreme Court
M.a.i.d. LLC v. State
September 3, 20242024 MT 200
Summary
The Court reversed the preliminary injunction barring implementation of two housing and zoning laws because MAID did not establish all four statutory prerequisites for extraordinary injunctive relief. MAID's evidence showed only generalized fears about possible future development, rather than a likely irreparable injury, and the District Court inadequately analyzed the balance of equities and public interest. The Court left MAID's standing for further consideration during the merits phase and did not decide which level of constitutional scrutiny applies.
