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.
