Just Right Law has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the City of Melvindale, Dix Auto Clinic, and Abbas Khalil Aoun on behalf of longtime property owners and small business operators.

The suit alleges the City unlawfully imposed a zoning moratorium to block the continued operation of a lawful auto repair business that's served the community for over 44 years. Plaintiffs assert the City conspired with a private business competitor to strip away vested property rights, resulting in over $480,000 in damages.

This case isn't just about one shop—it's about holding power to account and defending the rights of all business owners against political favoritism, abuse of zoning laws, and denial of due process. If you or someone you know has faced similar treatment in Melvindale, we want to hear from you.
