How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- “Regardless of the precise errors complained of, [under the voluntary payment doctrine] when plaintiffs have sufficient information ... they must protest or show that they paid under duress.”
- “It is true that disastrous business consequences qualify as duress. If a plaintiff will suffer a virtual destruction of business as a result of his failure to pay an illegal sum, then his payment is compulsory.”
