JUDICIAL DECISIONS   Natural gas company's certification application properly denied.    - Georgia Public Service Commission was authorized to dismiss a natural gas company's application for certification because creation of a natural gas company as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) wholly owned by the city's utility board was in derogation of a city charter as the charter required the utility board to create a wholly owned subsidiary in the form of a non-profit corporation rather than a LLC; thus, the city's creation of a LLC was an ultra vires act. Infinite Energy v. Marietta Natural Gas, 349 Ga. App. 343, 826 S.E.2d 189 (2019).   Voluntary payment doctrine not applicable.    - Trial court erred by dismissing a class action complaint under O.C.G.A. § 9-11-12(b)(6) for failure to state a cause of action in a suit brought by customers against an energy company seeking recovery of overpayments as the voluntary payment doctrine did not apply to bar the action.
