How Judge Rizley decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
He treated an unappealed probate judgment resolving property rights as controlling in the later federal tax dispute.
“where the probate court has ruled on the specific question and no appeal has been taken therefrom, this adjudication should be controlling.”
Cautions
He denied a broker compensation when the broker acted adversely to the principal and pursued a secret profit.
“The faithful discharge of Lis duties as broker is a condition precedent to any recovery by the broker for the •services he has rendered his principal.”
