JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Scope of trial court's authority.

- Trial court exceeded the court's authority under the Service Delivery Strategy Act, O.C.G.A. § 36-70-20 et seq., by finding it in breach of contract and by imposing declaratory and injunctive relief because it was not authorized to impose a remedy not provided by O.C.G.A. § 36-70-25.1(d)(2) for claims brought under the Act; the court had no authority under the Act to fashion a different remedy or enjoin the parties as to the funding or the method of provision of those services.
