Zezula v. Brown

Summary

The Court held that a governmental agency cannot be sued in circuit court for monetary damages based solely on an alleged violation of the MISS DIG Act because the Act's Public Service Commission complaint process is the exclusive avenue that avoids governmental immunity. The Court also held that the trial court prematurely granted leave to amend to plead the sewage disposal system event exception without first determining whether the statutory notice requirement was satisfied or excused. The Court reversed the summary-disposition ruling, vacated the amendment ruling, and remanded for further proceedings.
