Georgia Court of Appeals

Sandra G. Yarborough Jones v. Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC

A15A2326 March 29, 2016 Affirmed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether the trial court erred in consolidating a hearing on an interlocutory injunction with a declaratory judgment action and whether federal law preempted state law regarding pipeline surveys. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision, finding that the appellant had sufficient notice and acquiesced to the consolidation, and ruling that a FERC certificate was not required for surveying under OCGA ยง 22-3-88.
