Champlin’s Realty Associates v. Michael Tikoian; Town of New Shoreham v. Coastal Resources Management Council

Summary

The Supreme Court of Rhode Island held that the trial justice erred by failing to remand the case to the Coastal Resources Management Council to supplement the record with ex‑parte communications, erred by treating the subcommittee recommendation as a final agency decision, upheld the bias findings against Tikoian and Zarrella, reversed the bias finding against Lemont, and remanded for further proceedings; the Court affirmed the judgment of the Superior Court in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
