Stone v. Williams General Corp.

Ruffin, Judge.

In Stone v. Williams Gen. Corp.,¹ we 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.

Judgment vacated and case remanded.

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