Orr v. Ga. Transmission Corp., S06G1952., SUPREME COURT OF GEORGIA, March 26, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: It was error to hold that the date of taking property for electrical lines was the date of filing of the original condemnation petition. The date of taking was not governed by O.C.G.A. § 22-2-109, but by O.C.G.A. §§ 22-2-110 and 22-2-111; thus, the date of taking was when the amount provided in the award was paid into the trial court's registry.
