JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Compensation dispute.

- Trial court correctly held that a county solicitor general was improperly compensated beginning in July 2007 but erred in calculating the back pay due to the solicitor-general as of January 1, 2009, based on an amended local law because the amended local law irreconcilably conflicted with O.C.G.A. § 15-18-67(b), which prohibited the reduction of a solicitor-general's compensation during the solicitor-general's term of office. Inagawa v. Fayette County, 291 Ga. 715, 732 S.E.2d 421 (2012).
