Standard Oil Co. of N.J. v. Murphy

Supreme Court of New Jersey
Standard Oil Co. of N.J. v. Murphy, 5 A.2d 698 (N.J. 1939)
122 N.J.L. 410; 1939 N.J. Sup. Ct. LEXIS 176
Donges, Porter

Standard Oil Co. of N.J. v. Murphy

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

On reviewing the stipulated facts and the inferences which flow therefrom we conclude that the alleged right upon which relator rests has not the clarity or the certainty which are essential to the invocation of a prerogative writ of peremptory mandamus.

The application for the writ will be denied and the rule to show cause discharged; but without costs.
