Alston & Bird LLP v. Hatcher Management Holdings, LLC

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue is whether a notice of nonparty fault can be struck when an action is brought against one defendant but involves multiple parties. The Georgia Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's decision, holding that if the firm proves the nonparties breached a duty causing injury, the trier of fact may assign fault to them under OCGA § 51-12-33(c).
