The Alabama Supreme Court on Friday ruled that Alabama Transportation Director John Cooper is immune from a lawsuit that challenged a bridge the state wants to build over the Intracoastal Waterway.
The Baldwin County Bridge Co. which operates the toll bridge connecting the Foley Beach Express to Pleasure Island, argues Cooper pushed the new bridge as part of a vendetta to bankrupt the private business.
“Accordingly, the trial court has no subject-matter jurisdiction over that claim and the preliminary injunction must be reversed,” Justice Jay Mitchell wrote in the majority opinion.
