Supreme Court of Oklahoma
Pike Off Ota v. Oklahoma Turnpike Authority
May 23, 20232023 OK 57
Summary
The Oklahoma Supreme Court held that 69 O.S.2021, § 1718, which grants the Court exclusive original jurisdiction over bond validation for turnpikes, is constitutional; that the plaintiffs' challenges to the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority’s authority to construct the proposed turnpikes fall within that exclusive jurisdiction; and that the plaintiffs failed to demonstrate a clear legal right to the injunctive or mandamus relief they sought, so the district court’s dismissal was affirmed.
