JUDICIAL DECISIONS
Sovereign immunity barred claims against Georgia Lottery Corporation.
- Trial court erred in denying the Georgia Lottery Corporation's motion to dismiss the appellee's claim under Georgia's Uniform Deceptive Trade Practices Act (UDTPA), O.C.G.A. § 10-1-370 et seq., as the appellee's UDTPA claim for injunctive relief against the Georgia Lottery Corporation was barred by sovereign immunity because the UDTPA did not expressly waive the state's sovereign immunity; did not specifically create a cause of action against the state; and exempted conduct in compliance with a statute administered by a state agency, and the Georgia Lottery Corporation was a state agency created by statute to administer the lottery.
