Georgia Court of Appeals

Billy M. Faulkner et al.. v. Sonia L. Crumbley et al..

A20A1576 November 2, 2020 Reversed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether the county ordinance regarding stray livestock preempted state law under Section 6-34 of the Jasper County Code of Ordinances. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's denial because the evidence showed ordinary care and the state statute preempted the local ordinance.
