Georgia Court of Appeals

City Of Canton v. Brandreth Holdings, LLC et al.

A24A0019 April 1, 2024 Affirmed

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether an ante litem notice requirement applied to a municipal inverse condemnation claim based on negligence versus intentional acts. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's denial because the statute is strictly construed and does not apply to claims arising from negligence, as established by prior Supreme Court precedent.
