How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding Probate Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over claim seeking relief in nature of certiorari, notwithstanding plaintiff's attempt to characterize it as injunctive and declaratory relief
  • \oral notice given one and one-half hours prior to the revocation hearing ... did not comport with a rudimentary standard of due process\
  • “plaintiff’s entertainment license clothes him with a constitutionally protected interest of which he cannot be deprived without procedural due process”
  • the Legislature intended G. L. c. 21 IB to be utilized to minimize subject matter jurisdiction concerns and to avoid dismissals on such grounds
  • where a statute provides for a hearing, it is fair to imply “that the licensee is to be notified, and to have opportunity to be heard”
