The appeal was dismissed because the plaintiff failed to plead or establish an employer-employee relationship between the State and the local authority's officers; the State and the local authority are distinct legal entities with separate functions and administrative jurisdictions; accordingly there was no reasonable cause of action against the State and the claim against the 4th Defendant was plainly unsustainable, frivolous and an abuse of process.
