Heading: Standing to Seek Judicial Review

Text: [¶ 8] [I]n order to have standing to file an 80B appeal in the Superior Court, the appellant must prove (1) that it was a party at the administrative proceeding, and (2) that it suffered a particularized injury as a result of the agency's decision. Norris Family Assocs., LLC v. Town of Phippsburg, 2005 ME 102, ¶ 11, 879 A.2d 1007, 1012. We review the issue of a party's standing to bring an 80B appeal de novo. Id. Because, as we explain below, Friends has demonstrated no particularized injury resulting from the Board's action, it lacks standing to seek judicial review under M.R. Civ. P. 80B and therefore the Superior Court properly dismissed the action.
