General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Duke v. Turner, 204 U.S. 623 (1907)
Duke v. Turner No. 178 Argued January 24, 25, 1907 Decided February 25, 1907 204 U.S. 623
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE TERRITORY OF OKLAHOMA
Syllabus
While the authorities are in conflict as to whether a statute of limitations, without express words to that effect, governs a proceeding in mandamus, such a proceeding is not, under the Oklahoma Code, a civil action and therefore not within the terms of the three-year statute of limitations applicable to contracts created by statute, and in that territory, if the relator is otherwise entitled to the writ, it should not be denied unless he has so slept upon his rights for such an unreasonable time that the delay has been prejudicial to the defendant or the rights of other interested parties.
The facts are stated in the opinion.
