How courts have described this case

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

  • disallowing equitable action in mandamus in favor of protracted administrative appeals, where entitlement to permits is clear, would unduly burden permittee with an inadequate and inefficient remedy while facilitating abuse of licensing power
  • where legislative body provides for right to building permit, \the issuance thereof by the proper official is no more than the performance of a ministerial act which admits of no discretion in the municipal officer\
  • “Where the right to the permit is clear, the issuance thereof by the proper official is no more than the performance of a ministerial act which admits of no discretion in the municipal officer, and mandamus is both appropriate and proper to compel performance.” (citation omitted)
