JUDICIAL DECISIONS

No application to city inspector performing a power reconnect inspection.

- Neither O.C.G.A. § 8-2-222 nor O.C.G.A. § 25-2-38.1 operated to relieve a city inspector from liability for failure to properly inspect a mobile home prior to authorizing the connection of electrical power to the home because there was no evidence that the inspector conducted an inspection of the mobile home pursuant to the Uniform Act for the Application of Building and Fire Related Codes to Existing Buildings or the Minimum Fire Safety Standards Code. Vann v. Finley, 313 Ga. App. 153, 721 S.E.2d 156 (2011).
