Fractional School District No. 1 v. Joint Board of School Inspectors
Michigan Supreme Court
Certiorari to the Board of School Inspectors of Owosso, etc. This writ was brought to reverse the action of town hoards in creating a fractional school district out of old districts. The action was taken in November, 1871, and the certiorari was sued out in February, 1873,
1Opinion of the Court
The Court
held that after the lapse of such a time it
can fairly be presumed that the district has been organized in faet, officers elected, and expenses incurred. The court will not, at this late day, review the proceedings on certiorari, to which the district or its officers would not he parties; but if any one desires to contest the legality of the organization, he must proceed by quo warranto against the district or its officers.
Certiorari dismissed.
