Ten marijuana companies filed suit against the Detroit suburb of Berkley, Michigan, in an attempt to overturn a license scoring process that left all of them without business permits.
According to C&G Newspapers, the city identified three cannabis companies as top scorers for marijuana business licenses and left out 27 additional applicants that had thrown their hats in the ring. lSubsequently, 10 of the companies filed two separate lawsuits against Berkley, alleging that the scoring criteria were not defined or explained and that the city “improperly delegated authority” in the decision-making process.
Lawsuits such as this have become increasingly common in U.S. markets where there are competitive application processes for a limited number of marijuana business licenses.
The three top scorers currently in line for licenses in Berkley are Quality Roots, Operation Grow and Attitude Wellness.
