Kentucky River Foothills Development Council, Inc. v. Cathy Phirman

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts' denial of Kentucky River's motion for summary judgment, holding that the agency is not entitled to sovereign immunity for its operation of Liberty Place because the program does not perform an integral state function. Justice Venters, in a concurring opinion, agreed with the result but argued that immunity should not extend to any of Kentucky River's activities.
