Burke County v. Askin
Annotate this Case
Burke County, its Commissioners, and members of the Commission appealed the superior court’s grant of a writ of mandamus requiring the County to repair, maintain and construct certain roads dedicated to the County. In the preceding appeal and cross-appeal, the Supreme Court vacated the superior court’s grant of mandamus relief and remanded the case with direction for the court to reconsider under the proper legal standard that portion of its ruling requiring the County to construct and maintain a previously unopened
section of roadway. On remand, the superior court again issued a writ of mandamus granting the relief requested and the County appeals. Upon reconsideration of the matter, the Supreme Court affirmed the superior court's decision.
