"The purpose of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment is to secure every person within the state's jurisdiction against intentional and arbitrary discrimination, whether occasioned by express terms of a statute or by its improper execution through duly constituted agents."

—recognized successful equal protection claims brought by a `class of one,'where the plaintiff alleges that she has been intentionally treated differently from others similarly situated and that there is no rational basis for the difference in treatment. "

That conclusion rested in part "on the principle that where it is impossible to secure both the standard of the true value, and the uniformity and equality required by law, the latter requirement is to be preferred as the just and ultimate purpose of the law."

The Supreme Court has held that the Equal Protection Clause protects individuals from "intentional and arbitrary discrimination." Id

It is established that the intentional, systematic undervaluation by state officials of taxable property of the same class belonging to other owners contravenes the constitutional right of one taxed upon the full value of his property.

This court holds that the right of the taxpayer whose property alone is taxed at 100 per cent. of its true value is to have his assessment reduced to the percentage of that value at which others are taxed even though this is a departure from the requirement of the statute.

Similarly, the cases upon which the Court in Olech relied concerned property assessment and taxation schemes.

It has been said that "*** mere errors of judgment do not support a claim of discrimination,*** there must be something more—something which in effect amounts to an intentional violation of the essential principle of practical uniformity."
