Use Of Motive Evidence In Judicial Review Of Rezonings, Michael Allen Dymersky, Jesse Richardson
Law Faculty Scholarship
In this Article, Michael Allen Dymersky and Jesse J Richardson Jr examine the widespread rule of judicial review that a court should not consider evidence of motive in reviewing legislative actions by local government. They evaluate the rule in the context of a rezoning case in Highland County, Virginia, in which a group of plaintiffs conclusively established that improper motive prompted one supervisor to vote in favor of rezoning the subject property. The Highland County Circuit Court invoked the rule against judicial review of motive evidence to foreclose any consideration of the admitted improper personal motives that had inspired that …

The Rylands Vs. Fletcher Rule In West Virginia, Edmund C. Dickinson
The Rylands Vs. Fletcher Rule In West Virginia, Edmund C. Dickinson
West Virginia Law Review

Assuming its existence and recognition in some jurisdictions, the purpose of this article is to analyze the West Virginia cases involving the doctrine with a view to ascertaining the extent …
