Joe Owns a House and Wants to Make an Addition

question 135

Multiple Choice

Joe owns a house and wants to make an addition that would double its size. He applies to the city hall for a building permit but is amazed by a new policy instituted by the engineering department that restricts the size of all buildings to 50% of the lot size. This is considerably less than what he wants, and his request for a building permit is refused. Angry, he decides to proceed anyway. Later, Joe finds out from a friend that on the agenda for the next closed session of council (to be held in two days) there is a request for an order to set an example of Joe and to demolish his addition. What should Joe do with respect to his legal position?

• A) Joe should go to the court asking for a writ of mandamus.
• B) Joe should go to the court asking for a writ of certiorari.
• C) Even if Joe finds out that the city council is planning to take action against him, there is nothing he can do as he did fail to get a permit.
• D) If Joe found out that the council had met and decided to demolish his addition, there is nothing he could do now, as the decision has been made.
• E) Joe should apply to the court for certiorari and an injunction.
