City of Picayune, A Mississippi Municipal Corporation v. Landry Lewis Germany Architects, P.A., f/k/a Landry and…

Summary

The Mississippi Supreme Court reversed the $210,000 negligence judgment against the City of Picayune, holding that the City owed no tort duty to inform the trial court of a juror’s familial relationship. The Court reasoned that no per‑se disqualification rule exists and that public officials are not required to intervene to prevent alleged fraud on the court.
