SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS et al. v. NEWTON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS.
Court of Appeals Case No. A21A0734
The Honorable Supreme Court met pursuant to adjournment.
The following order was passed.
The Supreme Court today granted the writ of certiorari in this case.
This case will be assigned to the June 2022 oral argument calendar automatically under Supreme Court Rule 50 (1) (a). Oral argument is mandatory in granted certiorari cases.
This Court is particularly concerned with the following issue or issues:
To the extent that OCGA § 50-3-1 (b) (5) creates a cause of action allowing any person, group, or legal entity to seek damages without a showing of individualized injury, does the Georgia Constitution nevertheless require such plaintiffs to show individualized injury to have standing to sue?
Briefs should be submitted only on these points. See Supreme Court Rule 45.
All the Justices concur, except Ellington and Colvin, JJ., disqualified.
