Summary

The court held that the circuit court had exclusive jurisdiction over the challenge to Jackson's rental-housing ordinance and pendent jurisdiction over related claims concerning the ordinance's implementation and enforcement. Because those claims arose from the same nucleus of operative fact, the chancery court properly dismissed the separate action. The court also held that the statutory appeal and the availability of a stay provided an adequate remedy at law, precluding injunctive relief in chancery court.
