Taxpayer brought action against city, alleging that leasing of city’s real property violated city charter. The Circuit Court entered summary judgment in city’s favor. Taxpayer appealed.
The District Court of Appeal held that taxpayer lacked standing to bring action, where taxpayer did not allege a special injury different in kind than any other voter of the city.
To have standing to challenge the validity of a resolution passed by a municipality directing a referendum to be placed on the general election ballot, a plaintiff must allege that he has suffered or will suffer a special injury which is distinct from that suffered by others in the district.
