Georgia Case-Law

Read a random definition: commorancy

A quick definition of Georgia Case-Law:

Georgia Case-Law: If someone sends you an unwanted advertisement through your phone or fax, you can take legal action against them in Georgia. Even if Georgia's law doesn't specifically allow it, you can use the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act to sue them in state court. This was decided in the Hooters of Augusta, Inc. v. Nicholson case in 2000.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Georgia Case-Law refers to legal decisions made by Georgia courts that set precedents for future cases. One example of Georgia Case-Law is the Hooters of Augusta, Inc. v. Nicholson case, which established that a private cause of action can be brought in state court for unsolicited fax advertisements under the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"), even though Georgia's law prohibiting unsolicited fax advertisements does not specifically enable this.

Example: A company sends a fax advertisement to a Georgia business without the business's consent. The business can bring a lawsuit in state court under the TCPA, citing the Hooters of Augusta, Inc. v. Nicholson case as precedent.

Explanation: The example illustrates how Georgia Case-Law can impact legal decisions in the state. In this case, the court's decision in Hooters of Augusta, Inc. v. Nicholson established that businesses can bring private lawsuits for unsolicited fax advertisements under federal law, even if Georgia's law does not explicitly allow for it. This precedent can be used in future cases to support similar claims.

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.
