Perry Trading Company v. the City of Tallahassee and G. Powledge

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida held that the City of Tallahassee's ordinance regulating auction sales was unreasonable and void as applied to Sections 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8, because the restrictions imposed no legitimate public health, safety, or welfare purpose and unduly burdened the plaintiff's lawful business. The Court affirmed the lower court's finding that Sections 6‑8 were invalid and reversed the portion upholding Sections 2, 3, and 5.
