Adult club wins court ruling

The Georgia Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of Pin Ups, a DeKalb County adult entertainment club, in its litigation to stay open until 7 a.m.

A DeKalb judge had refused to grant an interim injunction that would have allowed, until the case is resolved, for Pin Ups to continue to stay open until 7 a.m. and not close a few hours earlier as required by county ordinances adopted in 2010. Pin Ups appealed, and the Supreme Court ruled the judge had relied upon an incorrect legal standard and directed the judge to try again using the correct one.
