Excerpt:
A Georgia Supreme Court’s opinion loosely related to the open records dispute plays a role in this case.
ATLANTA — It’s a win for the Merchant Law Firm, which challenged Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her office in an open records dispute.
On Tuesday, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that district attorneys in the state can be sued under the Open Records Act, upholding Judge Rachel Krause’s ruling in favor of the firm from Monday.
The judge ruled in favor because she said the district attorney’s office failed to timely provide the requested documents. According to Krause, the law firm is owed those documents and will be awarded attorneys’ fees.
