STATE of Georgia Et Al. v. INTERNATIONAL INDEMNITY COMPANY Et Al. Regulatory Technologies, Inc. v. State of Georgia.

1 sentence2019Although the question of sovereign immunity's applicability to Reg Tech is not before this Court because Sun States did not file a petition for certiorari to challenge the Court of Appeals' sovereign immunity holding, we note that it does not appear that the Court of Appeals held that sovereign immunity protects Reg Tech (which obviously is not a state agency or department), because on that issue the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court "to the extent it found that the government has waived sovereign immunity ... and that the state/liquidator could be held liable."
