JUDICIAL DECISIONS No private right of action. - O.C.G.A. § 22-4-9 does not create a private right of action in favor of a landowner, but merely addresses policies that should guide state agencies when the agencies acquire real property for federal-aid projects. Benton v. Savannah Airport Comm’n, 241 Ga. App. 536, 525 S.E.2d 383 (1999). Neither the Uniform Relocation Assis-

tance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act, 42 U.S.C. § 4601 et seq., nor the Georgia Relocation Assistance and Land Acquisition Policy Act, O.C.G.A. § 22-4-1 et seq., gave condemnees whose land was subjected to an inadequately described temporary work easement a private right of action. Ga. 400 Indus. Park, Inc. v. DOT, 274 Ga. App. 153, 616 S.E.2d 903 (2005).
