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-based claims because the integrated agreements for fire protection services, station renovations, and the station sale-and-lease-back arrangement constituted governmental activity. It also held that the mayor’s calling the council meeting and setting its agenda were legislative actions protected by legislative immunity. The Court affirmed the Court of Appeals and remanded for further proceedings on the remaining claims.
