Patricia Working, Rick Erdemir, and Floyd McGinnis v. Jefferson County Election Commission

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court vacated the Jefferson Circuit Court’s order denying the Working plaintiffs’ motion for attorney fees and for mediation, holding that the trial court lacked discretion to refuse mediation under Ala. Code 1975 §6-6-20 and remanded for further proceedings consistent with that statute. The Court also noted that the immunity argument was premature because it had not been raised in the trial court.
