Supreme Court of Georgia

In the Interest of M. F., a Child.

May 20, 2019828 S.E.2d 350

Summary

The Supreme Court of Georgia reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded the case, holding that a juvenile’s appeal of an adjudication of delinquency is not moot because collateral consequences are presumed to continue after the sentence expires. The Court affirmed that the appellate court erred in dismissing the appeal for lack of shown adverse consequences.
