Providence Volunteer Fire Dep't, Inc. v. Town of Weddington

Summary

The Court held that the Town of Weddington was protected by governmental immunity from Providence’s fraud-related claims because the contracts, including the sale-and-lease-back arrangement, were integrated components of providing fire protection services. It also held that the mayor’s actions in calling the council meeting and setting its agenda were legislative acts protected by legislative immunity. The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings on the remaining claims.
