Georgia Court of Appeals
Nedzad Jasarevic v. John I. Foster Iii et al..
A15A2218
January 26, 2016
Affirmed
Automated case summary
What the court decided
The Georgia Court of Appeals held that statements made by a physician in a workers' compensation narrative report are privileged and cannot form the basis for a libel claim. Consequently, the Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's dismissal of Jasarevic's complaint because he could not establish relief under the asserted facts.
