Smith County v. Dave Enoch

Smith County filed this action to enjoin the maintenance of an automobile junkyard within one thousand (1,000) feet of a county road pursuant to the authority of Private Acts. The defendant admitted his violation of the Private Acts, but pleaded (1) the asserted lack of standing of the County to file the action, and (2) the asserted unconstitutionality of the Acts. The Chancellor sustained both defenses. We reverse.
