Commonwealth v. Ratliff

GARDNER, Commissioner.

Appellee was fired as a highway employee. The Personnel Board of the Commonwealth of Kentucky instituted a declaratory judgment action against the highway department in the Franklin Circuit Court seeking to have him reinstated. Appellee was also a party defendant and he cross-claimed for a declaration of rights, including the question of back pay. The circuit court ordered that he be reinstated and adjudged that he was entitled to proper pay. The judgment was affirmed on appeal to this court. See Goss v. Personnel Board, Ky., 456 S.W.2d 822 (1970).
