Stone v. Williams General Corp.

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided February 14, 2007

Court of Appeals of Georgia · decided 2007-02-14

Relies on Williams General Corp. v. Stone · Stone v. Williams General Corp.

Decided 2007-02-14

Ruffin, Judge.

¶1In Stone v. Williams Gen. Corp.,1we reversed the trial court, concluding that a RICO conspiracy cannot exist between a corporation and its officer because a corporation is not a “person” within the meaning of the Georgia RICO statute. The Supreme Court granted certiorari and reversed, holding that “a corporation is a ‘person’ for purposes of the Georgia civil RICO act.”2 Accordingly, we vacate our earlier opinion and adopt the judgment of the Supreme Court as our own. The case is remanded to the trial court for entry of a judgment consistent with this opinion.

¶2Judgment vacated and case remanded.

Smith, P. J., and Miller, J., concur.
