McManus v. Justice of the Peace Court 13

Summary

The Court affirmed dismissal of McManus’s petition for a writ of certiorari challenging a summary writ of possession issued by the Justice of the Peace Court. It held that certiorari is not an appeal and that review was limited to legal error, jurisdictional excess, or procedural irregularity apparent on the face of the limited record; witness credibility and evidentiary fairness claims were outside that scope.
