Ex Parte City of Muscle Shoals. Petition for Writ of Mandamus: Civil

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court granted the City of Muscle Shoals' petition for a writ of mandamus, directing the circuit court to dismiss the residents' injunctive relief claim because the claim is barred by the doctrine of substantive immunity. The Court applied the Rich test and declined to reach the question of liability for a municipality's tortious conduct.
