RICHARDS v. FERGUSON

No. 5-5878.

479 S.W.2d 852 (1972)

William V. RICHARDS and City of Little Rock, Appellants, v. Claude W. FERGUSON et al., Appellees.

Supreme Court of Arkansas.

May 8, 1972.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lester & Shults, Joseph C. Kemp and Perry V. Whitmore, Little Rock, for appellants.

Wilbur C. Bentley and Hugh L. Brown, Little Rock, for appellees.

GEORGE ROSE SMITH, Justice.

This is a suit brought by the appellees, a group of neighboring homeowners in Little Rock, attacking an ordinance that rezoned two contiguous tracts in the city. The chancellor set aside the ordinance, holding it to be arbitrary and capricious. Inasmuch as the plaintiffs' right to relief clearly appears to be barred by the doctrine of laches, we find it unnecessary to discuss the facts bearing upon the validity of the ordinance.
