Georgia Court of Appeals

City Of Hapeville et al.. v. Grady Memorial Hospital Corporation D/B/A Grady Health System

A14A0724 February 26, 2016 Remanded

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The Georgia Court of Appeals considered whether OCGA § 42-5-2 waived municipal immunity when a health care provider seeks compensation from a municipality for services to an inmate in custody. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's denial of summary judgment based on its determination that the Legislature included municipal corporations in this waiver, but subsequently remanded the case due to Supreme Court precedent.
