No. 24,973. | Minn. | Jan 8, 1926
The order sought to be reviewed denied a petition to consolidate several judicial ditch proceedings and was made February 11, 1925. So far as the record shows, the only formal written notice of the filing of that order was given in August. In the meantime the writ of certiorari had been applied for and issued on June 30. It must be assumed therefore that the applicants for the writ had "due notice of the proceeding sought to be reviewed" before that date. Formal notice thereafter to the applicants for the writ, of the filing of the order, the review of which they were seeking by certiorari, was without purpose or effect. So the determining date is that upon which the writ issued.
The writ was served upon the judge whose order it questioned on July 11, but not until October 9 was there any attempt to serve upon the adverse party as required by statute. The 60-day period, reckoning it as it must be reckoned from June 30, had long since expired. So the service on October 9 was ineffectual and the writ must be discharged.
So ordered.
