Supreme Court of Georgia.

February 24, 2014.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jennifer R. Rhoton Culler, Donald D.J. Stack, Stack & Associates, PC, Atlanta, for appellee.

Nels Stefan David Peterson, Isaac Byrd, Dep. Atty. Gen., John Edward Hennelly, Senior Asst. Atty. Gen., Samuel S. Olens, Atty. Gen., James Doyle Coots, Asst. Atty. Gen., Department of Law, Atlanta, for appellant.

HUNSTEIN, Justice.

We granted certiorari in this case to determine whether the doctrine of sovereign immunity presents a bar to injunctive relief at common law. For the reasons set forth below, we find that sovereign immunity bars injunctive relief against the State at common law, and therefore, we overrule Intl. Bus. Machines Corp. v. Evans, 265 Ga. 215, 453 S.E.2d 706 (1995).
