State, Indiana Civil Rights Com'n v. INI

How courts have described this case

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

• stating that the timing requirement “... obviously reflects a legislative policy to move these matters along. An open-ended time frame for filing by the Commission would frustrate that goal.”
• finding that the language of statutory provision which states “the commission shall, not later than thirty (30) days after the election is made, file a civil action” suggested that the thirty day requirement was mandatory, not directory
• “When the word ‘shall’ appears in a statute, it is construed as mandatory rather than directory unless it appears clear from the context or the purpose of the statute that the legislature intended a different meaning.” (Internal quotation marks omitted.)
