Washington Supreme Court November 1, 1892, No. 598 (Maxon v. School District No. 34)

lead-opinion

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Stiles, J.

The first point made by the appellant is, that a school district of the State of Washington is not a corporation, and cannot be sued as such. In connection with this it is claimed that no action can be brought against a school district by name, but must be brought against the directors in their representative capacity.
