JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Proxy voting amendment violated settlement agreement.

- Electric membership corporation (EMC) board's proxy voting bylaw amendment violated the terms of a settlement agreement reached between the EMC and the corporation's members because the amendment significantly changed the conditions under which the parties' agreed-upon plan for proposing proxy voting to the members was implemented. It therefore violated the spirit if not the letter of the agreement in contravention of O.C.G.A. § 13-4-20. Brown v. Pounds, 289 Ga. 338, 711 S.E.2d 646 (2011).
