The Block Firm is proud to support as local counsel our friends and the brilliant lawyers at the Institute for Justice. Today, the team earned a major win for our client, a non-profit dedicated to building tiny houses for lower-income workers in Northwest Georgia. As the Court ruled, “the government may not mislead parties to their detriment,” but in this case “City officials affirmatively misrepresented” zoning regulations to our clients, violating with their due process and property rights.
Zoning regulations may be complex, but insisting on honesty and integrity from government is not.
