Description

Lewis H. Conner, Jr. Special Chief Justice This is a quo warrantor action contesting the right of the Supreme Court of Tennessee as constituted when this suit was filed to hold that office. The case comes to this court on appeal from the decree of the Chancery Court of Davidson County sustaining the appellee-defendants' 1 motion to dismiss. Jurisdiction of the appeal in this court is by virtue of T.C.A. § 16-4-108. 2 * As they were party defendants in the matter, the Justices of the supreme court have recused themselves. This special court was appointed by the Honorable Lamar Alexander, Governor of Tennessee, pursuant to Article 6, Section 11 of the Constitution of the State of Tennessee, to hear and finally resolve the matter. The issues raised on this appeal are: (1) Did the attorney general for the state have the authority to represent the defendants in this action? (2) Did the chancellor err in sustaining the defendant's motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted?
