Court hears NEPBA's Motion for Injunction in POST Recertification Questionnaire Litigation

Last Friday, Attorneys Peter Perroni and Gary Nolan appeared before a Suffolk Superior Court judge in Boston where they asked that the court enjoin the POST Commission's use of the current recertification questionnaire. The NEPBA case, originally filed in Worcester, was consolidated with another lawsuit filed in Boston and the parties argued jointly in favor of the injunction. The hearing was well attended and the Court was clearly prepared to examine the important constitutional issues raised by the unions. The oral arguments lasted more than 2-hours. The Court took the matter under advisement and told the parties that this case is a top priority. All indications are that the court will issue a decision sometime in the next several days. We will continue to keep parties posted when further information becomes available.
