A pair of sovereign immunity appeals challenging whether Article I, Section II, Paragraph V of the Georgia Constitution prohibits amending complaints to cure failures to comply with requirements landed before the Supreme Court of Georgia for oral argument Wednesday.
While hearing arguments from opposing counsel involved in underlying Cobb and Walton county zoning disputes, justices honed in on whether the constitutional paragraph displaced existing case law that enabled individual capacity claims against officials.
