Georgia woman loses marijuana smoke case as court upholds pension fund immunity

A Georgia woman sued after claiming her neighbour’s marijuana smoke repeatedly entered her apartment despite a no-smoking lease, affecting her breathing and health.

Bridget Francis alleged that the apartment management ignored her complaints.

However, on October 19, 2026, a Georgia appeals court upheld the dismissal of her claims against a California teachers’ pension fund, ruling that it was legally protected from the lawsuit.
