Legislative History

Source: Laws 1969, c. 65, § 5, p. 378; Laws 1991, LB 732, § 19; Laws 2020, LB1003, § 167. Annotations: This section does not limit review to illegality, but provides that appeals from various organs of a city of the primary class shall be considered as in equity. Thus, such decisions are quasi-judicial in nature and reviewable under section 15-1201 as in equity in both the trial and appellate courts. Moulton v. Board of Zoning Appeals, 251 Neb. 95, 555 N.W.2d 39 (1996). On appeal from an order of the municipal human rights commission, the district court found the evidence insufficient to establish any unlawful employment discrimination by the employer. American Stores v. Jordan, 213 Neb. 213, 328 N.W.2d 756 (1982).
