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.
