Drax0r's Legalese Quote of the Day
« on: May 14, 2008, 04:17:46 PM »
I thought I'd start a new thing a la Chester except instead of posting interesting videos I'll post various legal 'blahlblah'

Daugherty v. Ellis, 142 W. Va. 340, 357-8, 97 S.E.2d 33, 42-3 (W. Va. 1956)

"malfeasance is the doing of an act which an officer had no legal right to do at all and that when an officer, through ignorance, inattention, or malice, does that which he has no legal right to do at all, or acts without any authority whatsoever, or exceeds, ignores, or abuses his powers, he is guilty of malfeasance."


Bonus:
City of Anna Charter

SECTION 6.01 Scope of Recall
Any elected City official, whether elected to office by qualified voters or appointed by the City Council to fill a vacancy, must be subject to recall and removal from office by the qualified voters of the City on grounds of incompetence, misconduct, or malfeasance in office.
