Description:
Macon, Georgia public nuisance complaint real property lawyer represented the Defendant.
On August 4, 2023, the County filed a complaint against GMHP in the Superior Court of Bibb County, seeking a declaration that the Property was a public nuisance based on the criminal activity of third parties and requesting appointment of a receiver to take control of the Property and institute measures it deemed necessary to abate the nuisance. That same day, without notifying GMHP, the trial court held a hearing, which only the County's counsel and a law-enforcement officer attended. Immediately following this hearing, the trial court issued a sweeping ex parte order, finding the Property to be a public nuisance and appointing a receiver "over [the Property] and the Defendants who control it, including but not limited to all money, receivables, assets, contracts, and all tangible property each legal entity associates therewith." The order also required GMHP "to surrender complete control of the Property" to the receiver and to turn over "all books, records, security deposits, leases and rental contracts, computers, and information relating to [the Property]." The trial court's ex parte order further "restrained and enjoined [GMHP] from interfering in any way with the Receiver's access to the Property or with the Receiver's management of the Property or the operations thereon during the pendency of this action . . .," and it prohibite]d GMHP from "access[ing] the Property or any . . . account thereof except upon arrangement with the Receiver . . . .''...
