Summary

The court granted mandamus relief for the individual utility employees but denied it for the municipal utility. It held that the employees were entitled to summary judgment because the plaintiffs conceded several claims and the remaining negligence claim against the risk manager was barred by State-agent immunity. The municipal utility was not entitled to substantive immunity because the alleged conduct occurred outside the city limits and involved duties directed toward particular workers rather than the general public.
