Automated case summary
What the court decided
The legal issue involved whether a revised anti-SLAPP statute applied retroactively to bar a defamation claim based on a press release filed before the statute's amendment. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's denial, holding that applying the new statute retroactively to prior filings is not permitted under Georgia law.
