HeraldNet: High court asked to relax deadline
HeraldNet: High court asked to relax deadline: "OLYMPIA - An Edmonds couple turned to the state Supreme Court on Tuesday for help in restarting their legal fight with Snohomish County over the rezoning of a neighboring property.
Tom and Ann Conom opposed the Snohomish County Council decision in 2004, but their attempt to overturn the action in court died when a King County Superior Court judge said they had missed a deadline for requesting an appeal hearing.
The couple want the high court to find that the error did not harm Snohomish County or the landowners, and order the lower court to consider the appeal."
This case would have interesting implications for all of us. Right now an appeal has to be filed within 7 days of a decision. If the Washington Supreme Court overturned the lower court decision, there would be less strict deadlines. However, it's probably unlikely that they will do so.
