Description
This is an appeal from a declaratory judgment rendered in the Circuit Court of Montgomery County. Darks Dairy, Inc., and other milk distributors 1 brought this action seeking a declaration that they should not be required to pay the license fees required by tit. 22, § 215, Code of Alabama 1940 (Recomp. 1958). In January, 1977, the Alabama Dairy Commission terminated both the minimum retail price controls and the minimum and maximum wholesale price controls. Certain milk distributors took the position that the Alabama Dairy Commission, by abolishing the wholesale price control, had also abolished the license fee schedule for milk distributors. Accordingly, they refused to pay their monthly license fees, or paid their license fees under protest. The distributors also filed this action for a declaratory judgment seeking an order: 1) declaring Ala. Code, tit. 22, § 215 (Recomp. 1958) (Supp. 1973) 2 void, ineffective and without force of law; 2) compelling the escrow and eventual refund of all license fees paid to the Commission pursuant to § 215, subsequent to January 27, 1977; 3) and a permanent injunction restraining the enforcement of § 215 against the distributors.
