Survey: Georgia in bottom half of states for legal climate

by Rogue109 on April 23, 2008

From the Atlanta Business Chronicle:

The states were judged on factors that affect tort liability system, ranging from the overall treatment of tort and contract litigation to judges’ competence and impartiality.

Bah. This story deals only with tort law, and is basically just a report from a trade association with an agenda (i.e. “being able to sue a business at all” == “bad climate”).

Georgia is about as pro-business as it gets in contract law, and our treatment of property law is LUDICROUSLY pro-developer. Georgia is the only state in the union that doesn’t retain zoning power at the state level (with about one-third of counties having no zoning at all). We’re also the only state in the union where developers are free to violate covenants up until a development is 100% complete. Yeah, we might as well be communist…

In Russian, “bubba” means “communist.”
