Alr Oglethorpe et al.. v. C. Gerald Henderson et al..

Automated case summary

What the court decided

The legal issue was whether a dismissal based on the statute of limitations barred subsequent claims under collateral estoppel. The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's decision that the expiration of the statute of limitations constituted a decision on the merits and did not bar the current suit on collateral estoppel grounds.
