Fleureme v. City of Atlanta, [Ms. S25G0995, June 24, 2025] __ Ga. __ (2025). The Court (Pinson, J.; Peterson, C.J., Warren, P.J., Bethel, Ellington, McMillian, LaGrua, and Colvin, JJ., concur) held that a municipal ante litem notice under OCGA § 36-33-5(f) is satisfied when a claimant sends the notice by statutory overnight delivery to the “Office of the Mayor” at the correct address, even if it is not addressed to the mayor by name. The Court reasoned that the statute requires service on the mayor “personally or by certified mail or statutory overnight delivery,” and that a reasonable reading of the provision includes delivery to the office where the official works, addressed to the official’s title. Ms. **5–8.
