Camden County v. Sweatt, Judge

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Camden County’s petition for mandamus, declaratory judgment, and prohibition concerning a referendum on repealing resolutions authorizing a land option for a rocket launch facility. It held that mandamus could not undo completed acts, the County was not barred from seeking declaratory relief because it was not a party to the probate proceedings, and the Georgia Constitution authorized the referendum. Because the referendum was constitutionally authorized, the probate judge acted within his jurisdiction in calling and certifying the election.
