Introduced Text

Amends the land court permit session rules in Massachusetts.

The bill amends the land court permit session rules in Massachusetts. It modifies the jurisdictional requirements for transferring actions to the permit session and outlines the process for such transfers. The bill also specifies the conditions under which a party may file a motion to remand the matter back to the original court. If a party claims a valid right to a jury trial, the action will be transferred to the superior court for a jury trial. The changes do not affect the supervisory powers of the Chief Justice of the Trial Court.
