ASHBY V. WHITE
Courts of King's Bench, 1702; House of Lords, 1703
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an action involving the exercise of the right to vote and
for a violation of that civil right.
FACTS: White (D), an elections official, denied Ashby (P) his right to vote in an
election. P, a free burgess of a corporation, had an undoubted right to vote in a
Parliamentary election. Despite P not being allowed to vote his candidate was elected. P
sued D for damages. There was no statutory or common law cause of action that allowed a
remedy for this wrong. The action was dismissed and P appealed.
