Supreme Court of Georgia

Gardei v. Conway

February 1, 2022313 Ga. 132

Summary

The court held that declaratory judgment claims challenging enforcement of the Sex Offender Registry Act are subject to the two-year personal-injury limitations period. Because Gardei sought only prospective declaratory and injunctive relief, each required future renewal would constitute a new alleged wrongful act and injury, so his causes of action had not accrued when he filed suit. The court therefore reversed the dismissal and remanded for further proceedings.
