JUDICIAL DECISIONS

State's sovereign immunity not waived.

- State did not waive the state's sovereign immunity in passing the Insurers Rehabilitation and Liquidation Act, O.C.G.A. § 33-37-1 et seq., and could not be held liable for excessive administrative charges to a liquidated insurer's estate. However, if the intentional or wanton conduct of the liquidator allowed the excessive charges, the liquidator could be held liable; O.C.G.A. § 33-37-8.1(b) did not provide immunity for intentional or willful and wanton conduct.
