The state related entity (FSU here) entered into a series of contracts with the apparent authority to do so. The entity operates for a decade under these contracts and collects substantial payments under those deals. A decade later....the entity is unhappy and raises a sovereign immunity defense. Courts usually say "too late", you are estopped from raising that defense so late in the game. Now, the ACC was crazy not to get an express waiver of sovereign immunity in the documents, but I don't think immunity is really at play here. (How can anyone ever contract with a state entity if the entity can enjoy the benefits of the deal until they decide to unilaterally pull the plug and argue the contract is now unenforceable due to immunity and the lack of capacity to enter into the deal in the first place ??) ** Edited by TerryD at 4/23/2024, 1:40:03 PM
