Summary
In Maffei this court held that it does not possess the power (it is without jurisdiction) to repudiate the doctrine of sovereign immunity since only the legislature had the authority to so act under the present state of the law and the statutes.
Summary of this case from Jivelekas v. City of WorlandOpinion
[80 Wyo. 61] Lee S. Nebeker, Green River, Richard L. Bird, Jr., and C. J. Frost, Salt Lake City, Utah, for appellants.
[80 Wyo. 62] Before BLUME, C. J., and PARKER and HARNSBERGER, JJ.
Mr. Justice HARNSBERGER delivered the opinion of the court.
A petition for rehearing has been filed, explaining that because of the town's contract of insurance the appellants could not have joined the insurance company. This is not a ground for rehearing.
The reargument respecting estoppel, waiver, whether the complaint was limited to recovery against the insurance company, and whether there was a miscarriage of justice because the insurance company sold the town a policy of insurance which did not give the town the purported protection, were all disposed of by the opinion.
Rehearing denied.
