Description

CONNER, Judge. OPINION The basic question here is whether private citizens can attempt by lawsuit to hold other private citizens accountable for their dealings with public bodies. This action, seeking to recoup attorneys' fees paid from Robertson County public funds, stems from two election contests following the August 3, 1978, Robertson County general election. The former suits were brought against the Robertson County Election Commission and against defendants1a Dan King, Charles Dorris and Russell Shedden individually. They challenged the right of Mr. King to hold the office of sheriff and of Messrs. Dorris and Shedden to be county commissioners. The two cases were consolidated and tried.
