State ex rel. Chester Twp. v. Grendell
Annotate this CaseChester Township and its trustees (collectively, Relators) sought to prohibit Judge Timothy Grendell (Respondent) from issuing or enforcing rulings against them in the case that created the Chester Township Park District, arguing that the probate court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to issue orders attempting to correct activities by the park-district commissioners and the township trustees that frustrated the purpose of the original probate court order creating the park district. The probate court, in turn, asserted that it had continuing subject matter jurisdiction over the case creating the park district. The Supreme Court denied the writ, holding that the township trustees failed to show that the probate court patently and unambiguously lacked jurisdiction to issue the orders at issue.
