Richfield Oil Corporation of New York, Appellant v. City of Syracuse, Respondent; Laura McCarthy…

Summary

The Court affirmed the lower courts' dismissal of the plaintiffs' actions seeking to void special assessments for a street widening. It held that the statutes governing such assessments provide an exclusive method of judicial review and are constitutional, thus the plaintiffs could not pursue a declaratory judgment or injunction. The Court rejected the plaintiffs' constitutional challenges to the statutes and emphasized that the exclusive review scheme must be followed.
